Tesla’s vehicle sales have been on the skids globally for months. The big question has been: Can the long-awaited, redesigned Model Y crossover help turn things around?

In January, on the heels of its first annual decline in deliveries in over a decade, Tesla unveiled a refreshed version of its bread-and-butter small SUV. Six months later, however, the automaker’s sales are still sliding. It’s clearer than ever that the updated model’s snazzy light bar and smoother suspension won’t be enough to get the troubled company growing again.
