That's not the only issue they face. Tesla is on a downward spiral and can't make money off a 35k base model. They owe a lot of money to creditors and all it takes is for one of them to recall the debt owed and other creditors will follow. I'd strongly suggest reading this article:

I was really interested in what you had to say, since it was relatively different from what I've heard, then I saw a link to ZeroHedge and... well, do you have another source that isn't ridiculous?

That’s not how corporate bonds work.

Exactly, it was simply fearmongering. People can't just call loans due because they want to.

Bonds can be sold, thus lowering their price and making it harder for Tesla to sell new bonds.
