“despite Tesla’s best efforts to rejuvenate its presence in Europe with the launch of the refreshed Model Y”

I’m guessing the refreshed car will be less desirable than older models. The plausible deniability about when one bought it is removed.

Tesla needs to content itself with being a domestic-only player for a few years. (That or being acquired and rebranded.)

At the current stock price I can't imagine it being acquired. How far would it have to fall before a non-Musk company even considered it?

Not only would no company buy it, hiring a replacement CEO means finding somebody who would be willing to take the blame for the subsequent stock-price collapse once the reality distortion field is shut off.

All we can do is watch the cognitive dissonance build up as the next two quarters continue to suck.
