It is exactly "...a drag on Tesla both in terms of capital investment and a drain on the engineers time to iron out all the problems." Tesla has effectively one product: Model Y, which is a variant of an existing model, the Model 3, introduced in 2017. Cybertruck is the only new thing that had prospects of mass sales. The Semi is handmade in small quantities. No new Roadster, apparently. If anything were as far along as Cybertruck was a year ago, we would be awash in hype for it. Tesla has a product pipeline issue. The reason that is important is that Tesla took EVs seriously when other car makers did not, which gave tesla a multi-year head start. But now some competitors like Hyundai/Kia have broad product lines and are bringing out second-generation prodcuts.
