This is the issue when you have only 2 models in your lineup (S and X aren't sold in any meaningful numbers given their price point) and your biggest seller, the Y, is about to get refreshed.

Once you appreciate how big an improvement the Y is, you'll understand why people are waiting and sales tanking.

For all the showboating, he only owns 13% of Tesla. He is a very small part of the equation.
Only owns 13%, was the cyber truck his idea? He seems weird enough for it to be, as if it is one of his pet projects.
A smaller, lighter pick up with normal styling and design themes from current models could have made it a sales success.
Seems like a missed opportunity and the Chinese are capitalising on it, on the global market anyway.
