Car companies are massive capital sinks and need a certain level of volume to stay profitable.

The CyberTruck is a HUGE flop selling a tenth of what they forecast, sales of the other models are down by 40% or more in countries around the world.

For comparison’s sake, all it took was a 30% sales decline in 2009 to push Chrysler into bankruptcy. And it didn’t have the liability of having its cars viewed as “MAGA hats on wheels.”
