...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.
