£400m cash left.
Cash burn of £200m this year at least,
A court case which they could lose £150m +
The need to design new cars for 2023 which cost around £200m each.
The interest costs are £195m per year
The need to pay over a hundred million to Merc for tech agreement in early 2023.

DBX sales down 44% from Q1 2021.
