Why $TSLA could go bankrupt in 8 charts.

Chart-1: Net Cash/Equity by Major Carmaker.
Note that $GM & $FCAU went BK in '08 b/c of being net debt as they entered the crisis.
$TSLAQ
Chart-2: $TSLA also is the most inefficient carmaker in North America, on an output/worker basis.
$TSLAQ
Chart-3: $TSLA also generates the least revenues per worker in the world while having a non-unionized workforce.
$TSLAQ
Chart-4: $TSLA will eventually have the worst brand value in the world b/c customers can't get their crappy Teslas fixed.

Tesla's global fleet (units) per Service Center is at an unsustainable high. And $TSLA doesn't have the money to build new Service Centers.
$TSLAQ
Chart-5: "Exponential Growth?" Ha! Look at the Model S vs Porsche's Panamera, which was getting killed by the Model S till Porsche conducted an expensive full-model change (>$700m). $TSLA can't afford that.

By 2021, all of $TSLA's line-up (ex Model Y) will be >3yrs old.
$TSLAQ
Chart-6: And by 2022, this is the kind of "EV rainshower" $TSLA is facing, without any money to develop the CyberTruck or whatever else @elonmusk has contrived for his new model pipeline.
$TSLAQ
Char-7: Not having any new models will only lead to a further decline in $TSLA's average unit prices, despite higher volumes (if possible in 2021). This is proof that $TSLA needs new models (which it can't afford) to re-envigorate its line-up.
$TSLAQ
Chart-8: And finally, all that exponential growth in unit sales was paid for by what?

$TSLA's quarterly vehicle sales may be reaching record highs, but so is its accumulated losses.
