I don't see too much complexity in that.
Besides, the industry typically develops and releases several models per year, why could Tesla not do so? Tesla grows...

Every new model takes time and money. Every engineer working an the Semi is an engineer not working on a new S. Every dollar spent on a halo Roadster is a dollar not spent on the bread and butter Model S.
Yes, Tesla could be run like a normal car company if it had a CEO that knew how to make cars and didn’t have to worry about cash flow. It takes money to grow and Tesla doesn’t have money.
