Tesla is stalling for a reason...

...and it isn't a particular market-distaste for EVs. Tesla is no longer "the only game in town"--there are viable competitors. Tesla is "old news"--they haven't introduced a new from the ground up model in a decade. Minor refreshes and adaptations of existing platforms only go so far. Their entire line-up is ageing-out of it's production life-cycle. You can only re-apply the lipstick to a pig so many times before people realize that it's just an old pig. THAT is no different than with ICE vehicles--it applies to ALL vehicles. You can only hold-on to a model/platform for so long, before you have to go back the drawing board and start from scratch. Tesla hasn't done that--yet.

Elon is now facing serious competition, but probably doesn't want to further risk his credibility with investors to make such a major investment to overhaul his entire product line--not right now.


"And today is for sale and it's all you can afford. Buy your own admission. The whole things got you bored. Well the Lord chooses the good ones, and the bad ones use the Lord"--a very dear friend for decades Michael Stanley (Gee)--RIP
