A lot of their models are looking pretty stale. The updates to the Model 3 for this year scarcely qualify as a mid-cycle refresh.

A fairly large number of start ups had launched a single car model over the years. The difficulty comes with sustaining that with updated models, while competition heats up.

They have to fight newcomers like Rivian and Lucid, both having really solid offering, plus all the "legacy" manufactures, who are rapidly catching up.

Add in a nut-job, high-profile, and distracted CEO, and they've got a lot of headwinds.
