Tesla Inc. shares fell more than 5% Monday after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock to sell from neutral, citing near-term challenges including the launch of the company’s mass-market sedan, the Model 3.

“While we believe Tesla TSLA, +0.18%  currently has a lead relative to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) peers with respect to vehicle technology adoption, electric vehicle architecture, and (potentially) battery scale, our concerns are more near-term oriented with respect to operational execution on the Model 3 launch, an unproven solar business, and cash needs,” analysts led by David Tamberrino wrote in a note.

The company is expected to raise capital again before the fourth quarter after Chief Executive Elon Musk acknowledged the potential need on the company’s latest quarterly earnings call.
