Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Cologne, language: English, abstract: More than 100 years after the invention of the internal combustion engine, incumbent automobile manufacturers are at a crossroads and face nowadays significant industry-wide challenges. The reliance on the gasoline-powered internal combustion engine as the principal automobile powertrain technology is connected with several negative aspects: It raises environmental concerns, creates dependence among industrialized and developing nations on imported oil and it also exposes consumers to volatile fuel prices. All these challenges offer a historic opportunity for companies with innovative electric powertrain technologies to lead the next technological era of the automotive industry. Therefore, the objective of this assignment is to analyze the market situation of the all-electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla Motors, Inc. and to find out its unique selling proposition. The focus will be on the company’s domestic market, the United States of America. Moreover, this assignment will only take Tesla’s automotive products into consideration.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,2, Technical University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen, language: English, abstract: This compulsory paper covers the most relevant aspects of strategies and strategizing at Tesla, Inc., with a focus on supply chain management, manufacturing services and technology. It supports to identify industrial drivers and leverage strategic opportunities effectively. The reader will learn how to formulate, synchronize, manage and control corporate strategy with regards to business models, goal orientation, environmental fit and stakeholders’ requirements. The reader will learn how to apply state-of-the-art innovation frameworks and techniques. The electric vehicle market has captured worldwide consumer interest. This market segment was according to Kumar valued at $118.864.5million in 2017 and is expected to reach $567.299.8million by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.3%. Further claims that this rising interest rate is believed to be achieved because of an outperformance in regard to the conventional vehicle, since it provided higher fuel economy, low carbon emission and maintenance, convenience of charging at home, smoother drive and reduced sound from engine. This market segment is still in its growing phase, since it must convince people that it will work and is practical. Therefore, the market for all-electric vehicles is globally small, at roughly 1% of total sales, but Tesla has been doing its part to double it. In late December 2018 (Business Insider, 2018) stated that Tesla, Inc has created a micro-monopoly. Nowadays, according to DeBord,, one of the biggest challenges of Tesla is to maintain the electric vehicle (EV) market they have created.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Post University, course: Competitive Intelligence, language: English, abstract: The overall electric vehicle industry has grown significantly in the last five years. One of many reasons for that was the introduction of Tesla`s first electric vehicle in 2009 with a strong differentiation strategy. Tesla is now focused on its entry into the mass automotive market. To achieve that, the company is committed to invest heavily in its production capacity and model line-up, most recently with the introduction of Model 3. Tesla’s competitive advantages for this strategic goal include a superior electric vehicle technology and recharging infrastructure, brand recognition, a first mover market position, and a strong network of strategic partnerships. However, since the company entered the industry in the premium sport and luxury sedan vehicle niche segment, it has a resource disadvantage in regards to know-how, large-scale manufacturing processes and model line-up when it comes to the mass automotive market. Additionally, the company is relying on an overall growth of the EV demand, technological improvements and a high number of customer referrals in the near future. There is a large number of existing premium manufacturers in this space, several of which already enjoy major manufacturing and economies of scale advantages that will make this endeavor highly costly and risky. However, the combination of Tesla’s competitive advantages and aggressive marketing could result in the capture and sustainment of a significant percentage of market shares in the mass automotive segment.

Tesla is the most exciting car company in a generation . . . but can it live up to the hype? Tesla Motors and CEO Elon Musk have become household names, shaking up the staid auto industry by creating a set of innovative electric vehicles that have wowed the marketplace and defied conventional wisdom. The company's market valuation now rivals that of long-established automakers, and, to many industry observers, Tesla is defining the future of the industry. But behind the hype, Tesla has some serious deficiencies that raise questions about its sky-high valuation, and even its ultimate survival. Tesla's commitment to innovation has led it to reject the careful, zero-defects approach of other car manufacturers, even as it struggles to mass-produce cars reliably, and with minimal defects. While most car manufacturers struggle with the razor-thin margins of mid-priced sedans, Tesla's strategy requires that the Model 3 finally bring it to profitability, even as the high-priced Roadster and Model S both lost money. And Tesla's approach of continually focusing on the future, even as commitments and deadlines are repeatedly missed, may ultimately test the patience of all but its most devoted fans. In Ludicrous, journalist and auto industry analyst Edward Niedermeyer lays bare the disconnect between the popular perception of Tesla and the day-to-day realities of the company—and the cars it produces. Blending original reporting and never-before-published insider accounts with savvy industry analysis, Niedermeyer tells the story of Tesla as it's never been told before—with clear eyes, objectivity and insight.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Cologne, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this assignment was to analyze the market and sales strategy of Tesla and to identify its Model 3 customers. After ten years of waiting, Tesla's CEO Elon Musk has presented Tesla Model 3 to the public for the first time in an evening show at the end of march 2016. Unveiled at the company's design studio in Hawthorne, California in front of a crowd of whooping and cheering customers and journalists, Model 3 is the most affordable Tesla so far, hoped to bring electric cars to the mass market. Musk stated that the car will deliver at least 215 miles of range beginning at just 35.000 dollar. Musk is "fairly confident" that deliveries will begin by the end of 2017, and "you will not be able to buy a better car for 35.000 dollar, even with no options." Also it will be one of the safest cars in the world, according to Musk. Even before Tesla unveiled its new middle-class model, there were more than 115,000 people who had paid already 1.000 dollar to reserve one of the highly-anticipated electric cars. These early buyers didn't know what the car would look like or that it would have a starting price of exactly 35.000 dollar. They also didn't know how long the production and delivery would take.
