INTRODUCTION
Attention Getter/ Thesis Statement:
Tesla's designs and ideas have changed the world. Most of our cars and trucks currently run on gasoline, and the shortage of fossil fuel is becoming a serious matter. The available alternatives are Electric, Hydrogen and Hybrid vehicles. Hybrid cars still emit carbon dioxide; Hydrogen cars produce pure water as waste, but technical problems need to be overcome. Moreover, hydrogen fuel cells use platinum for catalysts and supplies of platinum are limited. Tesla Motors believes that the electric automobiles are an ideal solution because zero emission is produced effectively during operation, no fuel is consumed while running, and the electric engine is much simpler comparing to hybrid, hydrogen and conventional cars.

    Tesla Motors is one of the leading producers of electric cars and electric powertrains in the world. Founded in 2003 and based out of Palo Alto, California, Tesla is currently in 37 countries worldwide. Tesla currently produces 3 models, the Roadster, Model S, and the Model X. A primary issue Tesla faces is the steep prices of all three models. The least expensive model is the Tesla model S. It’s cheapest option begins at $57,400. Many experts believe that for Tesla to be successful, they will need to produce a model closer to the $30,000 range. Other critics focus on the issue of a possible takeover, or the company’s lack of liquidity options. Lastly there is the issue of global expansions. Tesla hopes to increase their number of stores worldwide by 50 throughout the next several years creating an annual cost of roughly 5-10 million dollars. Although Tesla faces ever increasing pressure to develop a more inexpensive model, I personally believe this is not the correct option. Tesla Motors offers top end, luxury vehicles that provide the distinct advantage of electric power over Tesla competitors in an industry that is moving more and more in that direction. Tesla competes against top end, automakers such as Maserati, Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Porsche. All of these competitors are internationally renowned, high end, high brand recognition companies. To be successful I suggest, Tesla focuses on their continued international expansions and marketing to created a world-renowned, top class product that incorporates their primary strength of electrically powered vehicles.…

    Prior to this course I was unaware of just how much fossil fuel the world uses and how if we don’t improve on our consumption we will run out in the not so distant future. As fossil fuel diminishes one step that many of us might consider is reducing the amount of fossil fuels we use in our transportation needs. In this class I researched and compared and contrasted all the major electric, hybrid and standard vehicles in an effort to show readers what type of vehicle may meet there wants and or needs. Through my research I discovered the importance of car companies to continue to make advances on these electric automobiles. While writing this paper I was able to provide justification and a strong rationale in the selection of a vehicle. Lastly, there are many other solutions for example as developing different and cleaner fuels or increasing public transportation. This course has opened my eyes to many energy solutions for the future of our…

Their operation produces no exhaust, and so their widespread use could reduce air pollution. They use batteries, and so they do not necessarily consume increasingly scarce petroleum resources. Electric cars are quiet, reducing noise in congested areas.”…

    Tesla has nowhere near the selection of cars that let’s say Ford does. Ford has several different cars, Suv’s, and trucks and Tesla only has a car and suv but that’s only one type of those cars when Ford has several different cars in those groups. The Tesla cars only get about 300 miles per charge when gas cars can be up to 400 miles a tank. This is more appealing to buyers because that means that they have to stop less. Also you can fill up a car in 5 minutes but however a Tesla takes 20 minutes just for half the battery worth of charging.…

    However, such may become inaccurate in a prevailing market, as the macroeconomic factors of PESTLE framework are dynamic to changes. To conduct a proper analysis, extensive data collection is required from reliable sources. In times where information is not readily available, assumptions are made. However, baseless assumptions can lead to disastrous analysis. This can be time consuming to keep the data updated and prevent obsolete. In case of Tesla, there are a few critical factors that determine its success. They were clearly able to innovate well ahead of competitors for electric vehicle and manufacture lithium-ion battery capabilities. The U.S government and global countries are supportive to drive carbon footprints lower, which sets the future backdrop of higher EV demand. Although it is unfortunate for certain States to implement red tapes on Tesla direct distribution, they were quick enough to maneuver its business to receptive countries like…
