“Our goal when we created Tesla was the same as it is today: to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon possible.” -The mission statement of Tesla. In this statement, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, is showing what his goal is in building cars that use only a 100% electricity by replacing the combustible engine. He knows the challenges that other electric vehicles (EV) have had and his company was built to overcome those challenges.

The club was extended as the price came down but still was steep for most people. The price of the product ruled out most people. At $35,000, for the upcoming Model 3, the circle is widened and we start to see more opportunities for customers to be brought into the Tesla fold. Yet, was price the only value that the customers care about? If that were the case then a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt would do the trick. There are many other issues that car companies face with electric cars with the public`s understanding and perception of them. First, most people associate electric cars with being slow. How Tesla has overcome this customer isuue is to have built its cars to go from 0-60 in under 6 seconds with the Model 3. Another issue that people are concerned about is how often will they need to charge the vehicle. Tesla`s answer was to put enough battery life into the vehicle so that it will run 215 miles between charges according to the BPA EPA ratings. Thanks to Tesla 's own infrastructure setup of charging stations, one will not have to go back home every time in order to charge the car. The battery also only takes the consumer only 30-40 minutes to fully charge at super charger stations that Tesla has installed not only across the USA but in many different countries the car is sold An added value, speaking of going around the world, is that the car 's charging capability is compatible
Tesla Motors Inc. (Tesla) was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley. Tesla has been in the business of designing and manufacturing fully electric vehicles (EVs). The company’s name came from Nikola Tesla, who influenced the design of the powertrain for their first vehicle. Tesla’s CEO is Elon Musk, he had a few goals for his company. First, was to build a sportscar. The next goal was to use that money to design and sell a more affordable car. And then use that money to design an even more affordable mass-market car. Finally in 2008, Tesla released their first electric vehicle, the convertible sportscar called the Roadster, which is now no longer available to buy. In order to raise funds for more research and development, Tesla had their initial public offering of shares in 2010 at $19 per share, under the ticker symbol TSLA. Today, Tesla stock goes for approximately $232(Market Watch, 2016). In 2012, Tesla released the Model S, which was the world’s first premium electric sedan. To date, Tesla has sold and delivered approximately 50,580 vehicles, most of which are the Model S. In 2016, Tesla has announced that they will release a new vehicle, called the Model X, which will be an electric crossover utility vehicle. In addition to vehicle sales, Tesla also develops batteries for their cars, and is in the process of building a gigafactory which is expected to produce more lithium ion batteries than all of the other manufacturers of these
Tesla Motors, Inc. is an American company that was founded in 2003. The driving idea behind the venture was proving electric vehicles could be a viable substitute of the gasoline powered cars without sacrificing comfort, performance or luxury. Apart from the core function of designing and producing electric cars, Tesla also provides advance electric vehicle powertrain components and know-how to other automakers, which are looking into venturing in the EV (electric vehicles) market, such as Daimler, Toyota and others. The company’s headquarters are located in Palo Alto, California. Due to their specific business and marketing model, namely, no middle-man and little-to-no mass scale
Tesla Motors is a global enterprise specializing in the design, production, and marketing of electric powered vehicles founded in 2003 by the young businessman, Elon Musk. Elon is well known for co-founding paypal, and now he amazes the world again with his incredible vision of Tesla Motors, and being the main product architect. Tesla Motors appeals to the environmentally friendly market, by currently being the only company to sell a zero-emission sports car. Tesla’s fundamental motive and selling point is producing only electric vehicles, as opposed to competing companies, producing a combination hybrid, or diesel car.
Tesla`s current objectives include creating a high demand for electric vehicles which ultimately will raise sales. This will be achieved as more awareness on the harm gasoline emissions cause on the environment is shown, and knowledge on electrical powered cars is gained. Tesla also plans to create customer loyalty with current customers and create customer referrals. Tesla will achieve this by continuing to have regular customer events, such as show rooms which display their new technology.
I would recommend that Tesla Motors continue their promise to mass-produce affordable electric vehicles. As mentioned in Myopia, one of the greatest enemies of this knowledge is mass production. Tesla would be able to eliminate other car manufactures from entering the market with affordable electric vehicles and take on the existing car manufactures that are producing electric vehicles. Tesla Motors is still a leader in the electric vehicle industry and if the Model 3 becomes a huge success, they will dominate the affordable electric vehicle market.
Tesla Motors niche is wealthy, environmentally conscience individuals who are looking for a sporty and sleek vehicle. Tesla is the only automobile maker who produces a purely electric car that resembles and performs like a sports car. This niche was chosen because this is a market that has been neglected and Tesla was the first to see the need and produce such a vehicle.

Tesla Motors Incorporated, an American company that designs, produces, and sells electric vehicles and their electric components, has become one of the fastest growing car companies in recent history. The company’s main goal was to start creating electric vehicles that were accessible and affordable to the public. Founded in 2003 and taking off successfully by 2009, Tesla Motors started selling the first mass-produced vehicle to use lithium-ion battery cells and hold a range of greater than 200 miles on just one charge. Along with building their own electric vehicle models, Tesla also builds electric powertrain components for vehicles from other automakers including cars such as the Toyota RAV4 electric vehicle. Tesla has begun to maximize
We can see that Tesla expanded their product line to target multiple consumers in different price range. The company started with high-end luxury sports car targeting early adaptors. On the second stage, Tesla has introduced Model S sedans that help them pass from difficult line from early adaptors to early majority. Moving forward, Tesla is introducing new Electric Vehicles (EV) cross over and many more affordable EV to target a larger majority. This strategy is helping Tesla move from one stage to the next one. The company is planning to release Model X in summer of 2015 and there are possibilities to introduce more affordable EV in the range of $30,000 dollars to compete with BMW 3 series in the fall of 2015.
They have differentiated themselves from their competitors in the automotive industry by revolutionizing the lithium ion batteries to hold more charge and in effect, provide better mileage compared to conventional hybrid or plug-in based electric vehicles. The performance figures generated by Tesla’s batteries is unmatched in the automotive industry. Besides the batteries, Tesla has developed a robust and unique value chain ecosystem around its cars which provides better value and end-user experience to customers.
Tesla Motors is an American automaker and vitality stockpiling organization named after renowned Nikola Tesla, the engineer, innovator and physicist. The company was established in 2003 by Elon Musk, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. It is situated in Palo Alto, California. Their primary auto production from 2008 being Tesla Roadster, the second vehicle, the Model S, an electric extravagance car, appeared in 2012 and is worked at the Tesla Factory in California. Worldwide deals for the Model S passed the 100,000 units point of reference in December 2015, three and a half years after its presentation, and it was the world 's smash hit in that year. As of June 2016, the Model S positioned as the world 's record-breaking second-top rated module after the Nissan Leaf and it was the US best seller of electric cars in 2015. The auto was then trailed by the Model X, a hybrid SUV. Tesla 's next vehicle, Model 3 is scheduled for release in 2017 with a starting cost at US$ 35,000 which will be the most affordable model yet. Amid the year 2016, Tesla Motors sold about 164,000 electric autos overall after the conveyance of its first Tesla Roadster in 2008, making the electric carmaker the second biggest worldwide module auto producer after the Alliance.

Tesla Motors Inc. was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers, one of whom is now the current CEO, Elon Musk. The company was founded on the ideals of not having to compromise to drive electric. These vehicles would be “better, quicker and more fun to drive than gasoline cars” (About Tesla). Tesla launched its first car in 2008, the Tesla Roadster. It is known as the first car to use a lithium-ion battery and revealed Tesla’s cutting-edge electric powertrain. Since then, Tesla has been able to expand with the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 (that has just begun production this year). Not only do they build electric cars but have expanded into scalable clean energy generation, storage products, and charging stations.
In 2015, Tesla sold 10,045 Model S cars which was a 55% increase in sales of this car from the previous year. Considering how well the Tesla Motor company’s stocks are doing, how many expectations they are exceeding increasingly each year, the massive amount of profit annually, and the growing market of electric motor vehicles, I believe Tesla Motors will be around for quite some time and, with this information, I confirm it is a stable company. The goal of Tesla Motors is to create affordable mass market electric vehicles in an effort to reduce carbon emissions, along with water and land pollution generated by oil and gasoline, two required ingredients in the operation of ordinary motorized vehicles that control 99% of roads globally. Their goal has been achieved and continues to be achieved each year in the progressing amount of electric cars sold not only by Tesla Motors, but other motorized vehicular manufacturers that have borrows some ideas from the electric car design Tesla created. Elon Musk and the other founders of Tesla Motors wanted to enter the auto motive industry with a high-end product of which targeted affluent
The organization was founded by Elon Musk who created a goal for the company when he started it on January 25th, 2003 and that goal remains the same today which is “to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible.” Their mission has become very clear in the last few years with the release of the Tesla Model S Sedan, Model X SUV, Model 3 and Roadster. Tesla has a very different culture from many of its competitors which is it encourages its employees to innovate and try new things to improve the business in every aspect.
