Tesla Motors became a public traded company, (NASDAQ stock quote code: TSLA), earlier this year. You are the Channels Manager for Tesla Motors. How do you think Tesla has developed its distribution strategy, i.e. what were the most important things to have been considered? With the launch of the model S. sedan due in 2012, how would you further develop the distribution strategy over the next five years, and why?

Tesla Motors has a cash flow problem, which makes it vulnerable to the many larger competitors who want into the electric vehicle business. The advantage Tesla has is with its battery technology, which is vastly superior to anybody else's, and in its brand name and leadership. The in-house distribution is unique to the industry but it might be too early to determine whether this is helping Tesla or hurting it. This paper will examine how these elements work on the company strategically, and there will be a recommendation to leverage the company's strengths while shoring up its weaknesses. It is recommended that the auto business is spun off into strategic partnership with an established automaker and that Tesla maintains its battery IP and energy business. The battery technology would be licensed to the auto company.
Major Issues

Tesla Motors has a future that is potentially promising, but there are a number of….

Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 "by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley who wanted to prove that electric cars could be better than gasoline-powered cars." The company's first car, the oadster, was launched in 2008 and the second car, the Model S, was launched in 2012. The company has been a major success since its inception, and while it still is not turning a profit, its revenues are increasing and the losses are diminishing (TeslaMotors.com, 2015).
The company's products have received rave reviews in general, something that has only increased its popularity. There have been some issues, however, with established franchise car dealers, who have in some cases launched legal challenges to Tesla's business model, which does not include franchised dealers (Gilbert, 2014). This level of corruption - an established interest buying laws from politicians who oppose free market capitalism - has not stopped the company's rapid growth.

In 2010,….

Comprehensive Analysis of a Fortune 500 Company: Tesla, Inc.—Corporate Strategy and Competitive Advantage Introduction: Background
Tesla, Inc. was launched in 2003 in California as a niche market luxury carmaker that specialized in electric vehicles (EV). The Tesla Roadster was its first product.

Macroenvironment
Tesla Motors competes in a niche segment of the an automobile industry, which is the electric car segment. Specifically they occupy a luxury component of that segment. The macroenvironment is an interesting one, not the least because it is in a state of flux. The traditional model of the gasoline-powered automobile has been so dominant for so long that is seems almost inconceivable that this model is changing. Yet, with climate change, peak oil and a number of other issues, there is a groundswell of public opinion that is shifting. Surveys have revealed that acceptance of electric vehicles is not universal, but is stronger among women and the aged, and those with a high level of environmental conscious. Men perceive their knowledge of the issues surrounding electric cars to be high, while there is actually no evidence to back that up, and men score lowest on acceptance of electric vehicles….

Tesla ReflectionPart of Teslas strategic mission is to pursue a sustainable future for humankind. Currently it does that by producing the Model 3an affordable EV for consumers. However, because other competitors are also producing more affordable EVs today, Tesla has to strengthen its product line-up in order to stay relevant. It can do that by producing the promised semi-truck EV and by segueing into other areas of transportation, such as trains or planes and bringing EV solutions to them as well. One problem that remains is that there are environmental concerns about mining the materials needed for battery production. As LeBeau (2021) points out, recycling existing batteries is necessary to help reduce the environmental impact of mining that companies like Tesla leave on the world. Tesla should be focused on erasing its carbon footprint on the back-end of production. Today it focuses mainly on the front end of production by….

Strategic Management Introduction
Tesla, Inc., is a car manufacturer with a global market that specializes in the manufacturing of electric vehicles (EVs). In terms of strategic management of the company there are several factors to consider, especially how globalization and technology have impacted the company. This paper will discuss the vision, mission, stakeholders, impact of globalization and technology on the company as well as how the industrial organization model and resource based model can be applied.
Globalization
Globalization refers to the concept that all things around the world are connected—economies, industries, cultures, markets, governments and so on. Nothing is isolated from any other sector: what is seen in China for instance is likely to have an impact on markets in Europe and vice versa. In the global economy, goods move freely from nation to nation. However, globalization does have its drawbacks and those are becoming more and more apparent today with the rise of….

The company that I will be examining is Tesla Motors, using its 2017 financial statements. Net Income
The net income for Tesla in 2017 was a loss of $2.2 billion. In the year prior, the company recorded a net loss of $773 million. The net income figure is important for investors because the net income is basically what the company has earned in the prior year. The value of the company is determined by its net assets, and if the company has lost money, then it has lowered the value of the shareholders' equity, which means that any increase in assets has come with an increase in debt. For investors, the net income is one of the most basic measures of the company's financials – is it profitable or not?
For Tesla, the key concern is that the net income is that the company recorded a significantly larger loss for 2017 than for….

Marketing Plan Pricing Strategy
The pricing objective for this plan is to price a brand new Tesla Model XF at $200,000 and to give owners of a previous Tesla model an incentive to buy by trading in their older model and paying the difference to upgrade to the new Tesla Model XF. This is a cost-based pricing strategy, with the aim being to make the Model XF competitive with other brands in the industry.
With respect to demand and price sensitivity, this strategy is also focused on bridging the gap between luxury brands and private jets. That is of course quite a large gap because of the fact that cars and jets are in two separate transportation classes altogether. However, the Model XF provides a halfway point between the two. The demand for this product should be fairly strong given that it eliminates the problem of traffic.
