今年2月初,马斯克创办的SpaceX公司发射了猎鹰重型火箭,并将一辆特斯拉跑车送上了太空。在马斯克众多的粉丝眼中,似乎没有什么难题能将他击倒。然而,最新的消息显示,特斯拉正面临产能、技术、高管离职、现金受压的多重压力。
Tesla, a manufacturer of electric vehicles, is under pressure. Its boss Elon Musk is fighting battles on many fronts and they all exacerbate his main threat: a financial squeeze that could eventually push Tesla over the edge. On March 27 th Moody's, a credit-rating agency, downgraded Tesla's debt, cautioning that the firm "will likely need to raise additional capital during the second half of 2019". What is worse, it seems that Tesla is much better at developing the whizzy technology that underpins its cars than at mastering the humdrum business of making them in quantity. Until recently Tesla made only small numbers of expensive long-range battery powered cars.
