JSH seems to have a very good grasp of the financial situation Tesla is in. My hunch, based on very little actual knowledge of Tesla's financial position, is that they will take another decade to be out of the woods financially, assuming they make it (I think they will).
Tesla sales will slow in the US, and the Model Y at best will sell as well as the Model 3. With no federal subsidies, hardly anything to distinguish the Y from the 3 other than larger, and the fact that it's 10% more expensive will make it a tough sell. People that want and can afford EVs have them.
Global demand will probably be fulfilled within 3 years. There had better be major cost reductions or improvements in battery tech by then, or perhaps a very robust full self-driving feature.
