Protests hit Tesla dealerships across the world in challenge to Elon Musk (opens in new tab)

Had Tesla diversified its model range they would be in less trouble than they are; as it is, their vehicles now look dated (Cybertruck aside, which just looks bad) and the market is becoming thick with competition, especially from Chinese brands which are rapidly shedding their image as cheapo ripoffs. Protected by tariffs at the moment - a weak defence which will ultimately fail. Musk needs a new vehicle, but no sign of it as he gets distracted by DOGE, tweets, game playing and philandering.

Supposedly, according to their financial reports, Tesla has $37 billion in cash and equivalents.

That they haven't got the Tesla semi into series production, that they don't have a new roadster, nor do they have a new lower cost car, nor do they have nearly enough 4680 cells to update all of their battery packs, nor do they have a plausible robotaxi vehicle and that two seat gullwing thing isn't it, you have to wonder why?

Not "Why are they somehow blocked from having these things?" but why haven't they even spent more money to try to get there? That's a bigger mystery than what happened to $1.4 billion or how to sell 6800 Teslas in two days in Canada.
