Tesla, Inc. and the world's transition to electric vehicles. Risks, strenghts, opportunities and strategic reccommendations by Sebastian Neumann Pdf

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.

Tesla's Market Entry Strategy in Germany. Foreign Market Entry and Cross-Cultural Business by Simon Glandien Pdf

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A+, , course: Cross-Cultural Business, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the market entry of Tesla Inc. in Germany. In November 2019, Tesla revealed to build a European production plant on the outskirts of Berlin in Germany. The aim of this paper is to give account to the foreign market entry of Tesla Inc. in Germany. This leads to the following research question that guides this paper: What could be business success factors and threats of Tesla's strategy to enter the German automotive industry market? Tesla Inc. (former Tesla Motors Inc.) is a car manufacturer and sells fully electric vehicles, energy storage systems as well as installs, operates and maintains solar and energy storage products (Reuters, n.d.). The company was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers. In 2008 Tesla launched their first electric vehicle to the market (Tesla, n.d.). “Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy”, so the car manufacturer. So far most of the Tesla vehicles are produced and assembled in the United States at its main Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. To that Tesla operates other, multiple production and assembly plants, named Gigafactory, such as in Fremont, California (Giga Nevada) and in Buffalo, New York (Giga New York). Recently, in 2019, Tesla opened its first Gigafactory outside the American region in Shanghai, China (Giga Shanghai). A strategic step to internationalize the company and to enter the Chinese market. This strategic action can be explained by the fact that China is the largest car market in the world and the government is speeding up the expansion of electric mobility. Furthermore, manufacturing in Shanghai saves Tesla from having to transport its vehicles overseas and avoids import duties incurred in China for cars from the United States. However, the company is not just expanding its manufacturing into China.

Marketing Report on "Tesla Motors" by Aylin Kadriye Tansel Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1,3, Kingston University London, language: English, abstract: This marketing report focuses on Tesla Motors (TM), a young company specialised in manufacturing high performance premium electric vehicles and vehicle powertrain engineering which was founded in 2003 in Silicon Valley. With TM's first launch of its Model S in 2012, it introduced the self-described "world's first premium electric sedan" (Tesla Motors, 2015) which brought TM on its successful way into the EV market. The analysis of TM's external marketing environment illustrates that tax incentives promote the use of EVs and thus demand for TM's products. Moreover, the economic factors such as fuel prices, raw material prices and volatility in exchange rates of USD against EUR, have a significant impact on sales and profitability. Increasing awareness of climate change and sustainable environment boosts customers' demand and makes the EV market more attractive for TM however range anxiety still hinders further demand. Advancements and R&D in technology are important to improve the charging network which may reduce range anxiety. Safety regulations determine TM's whole manufacturing processes and intellectual property secures successful factors of TM. Tesla's 'Gigafactory' is a major opportunity to reduce production costs and increase capacity of battery packs, making TM more competitive. However, threats such as increasing material costs and increased competition in the EV market exert more pressure on TM's competitiveness. The analysis of TM's internal market environment shows that TM's strength is relying on its powertrain engineering and innovative product development, exclusive product design, unique customer service and brand reputation, which are TM's core competencies and thus difficult for competitors to imitate. TM's human resources, in-house capa

Competitor Assessment. the Electric Vehicle Industry. Tesla's Strategic Focus Lies on Establishing Its Brand in the Mass Automotive Market by Dennis Schindeldecker Pdf

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 Teslas 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.

Global Strategies of Electric Vehicles: Us by Pramod Singh Pdf

The quest for energy independence and rising environmental concerns are key drivers in the growing popularity of electric vehicles or EVs - electric and plug-in hybrid cars. Studies indicate that for 90% of the Americans who use their cars to get to work every day, the daily commute distance is less than 50 km - or 30 mi - and, on the average, the commuter car remains parked about 22 h per day. The EVs have in common the batteries, which provide storage capability that can be effectively harnessed when the vehicles are integrated into the grid. The entire concept of using the EVs as a distributed energy resource - load and resource - is known as the vehicle-to-grid or V2G concept. Though I have more than two decades of rendezvous with energy and diversified energy sources to quench the thirst of humanity, my specific interest in electric vehicle started in 2014 when I joined Black & Veatch and got associated with prestigious project of Tesla as strategist and adopt the success model of US market for Asia.Tesla Motors manufactures the Tesla Model S, the all-electric car that won the Motor Trend 2013 Car of the Year award. While developing the car, Tesla launched a program to aggressively deploy high-power, fast-charging stations -- "Superchargers" -- along major travel corridors throughout the United States.Tesla awarded Black & Veatch a contract to design and construct pilot sites in the Supercharger network. The Tesla Supercharger U.S. build-out is the largest project to date for the Black & Veatch team. Services include engineering, site assessment, and permitting and construction services for Tesla's charging stations."It's one thing to build one Supercharger site, but it's a totally different thing to build 100 at a time, or have 40 or 50 in construction at any given time. Black & Veatch brought an ability to be able to expand rapidly, bring on the resources necessary and also manage the construction of a complex project like that - all concurrently." Kevin Kassekert, Director, Supercharger Deployment and Energy Efficiency, Tesla Motors, Inc.It was my absolute privilege to be part of the team of Black & Veatch, who is now a market leader in the design, construction and integration of complex electric vehicle (EV) and hydrogen/fuel cell vehicle (FCV) infrastructure. My journey started with a Big Bang when B&V Chairman Steve Edward pioneered the Chairman's Challenge for new and fresh ideas from offices across the global with the help of an online contest. Absolute delight was my feeling when my first idea on a strategic model of business capture ( I call it Shark Strategy) won the most voted idea of the challenge out of hundreds of ideas submitted by most of the top brains of the 10000 odd employees of the 100 year old firm. It was just the beginning as in the next Chairman's Challenge, I collaborated with others in Kansas HQ to put forth another idea on use of Drone for Industrial Application and Project Management & Monitoring of complex nature like EPC work of intercontinental pipelines or Electric Transmission Lines across the mountains or dense forest like Amazon basin. To my absolute surprise, our team won the top award of the chairman's challenge and each team members were gifted a real Drone costing not less than 15000 INR at that time, but unfortunately it could not be shipped to Mumbai for me as Drones for private applications were banned by government of India. My all other team members sent me pictures of drones awarded to them. Great Memories of Kansas City Baseball match cheering Royals after intensive strategy meetings on future of the company and American Supercharger Infrastructures ( Read Tesla, Volta and other projects).This book is my attempt to help generation next understand and support clean vehicle adoption, advance clean transportation and sustainability.

Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation by Subramaniam, Umashankar,Williamson, Sheldon S.,Krishna S., Mohan,J. L., Febin Daya Pdf

The electric vehicle market has been gradually gaining prominence in the world due to the rise in pollution levels caused by traditional IC engine-based vehicles. The advantages of electric vehicles are multi-pronged in terms of cost, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. The running and maintenance cost are considerably less than traditional models. The harmful exhaust emissions are reduced, besides the greenhouse gas emissions, when the electric vehicle is supplied from a renewable energy source. However, apart from some Western nations, many developing and underdeveloped countries have yet to take up this initiative. This lack of enthusiasm has been primarily attributed to the capital investment required for charging infrastructure and the slow transition of energy generation from the fossil fuel to the renewable energy format. Currently, there are very few charging stations, and the construction of the same needs to be ramped up to supplement the growth of electric vehicles. Grid integration issues also crop up when the electric vehicle is used to either do supply addition to or draw power from the grid. These problems need to be fixed at all the levels to enhance the future of energy efficient transportation. Electric Vehicles and the Future of Energy Efficient Transportation explores the growth and adoption of electric vehicles for the purpose of sustainable transportation and presents a critical analysis in terms of the economics, technology, and environmental perspectives of electric vehicles. The chapters cover the benefits and limitations of electric vehicles, techno-economic feasibility of the technologies being developed, and the impact this has on society. Specific points of discussion include electric vehicle architecture, wireless power transfer, battery management, and renewable resources. This book is of interest for individuals in the automotive sector and allied industries, policymakers, practitioners, engineers, technicians, researchers, academicians, and students looking for updated information on the technology, economics, policy, and environmental aspects of electric vehicles.

Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels by National Research Council,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Board on Energy and Environmental Systems,Committee on Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels Pdf

For a century, almost all light-duty vehicles (LDVs) have been powered by internal combustion engines operating on petroleum fuels. Energy security concerns about petroleum imports and the effect of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on global climate are driving interest in alternatives. Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels assesses the potential for reducing petroleum consumption and GHG emissions by 80 percent across the U.S. LDV fleet by 2050, relative to 2005. This report examines the current capability and estimated future performance and costs for each vehicle type and non-petroleum-based fuel technology as options that could significantly contribute to these goals. By analyzing scenarios that combine various fuel and vehicle pathways, the report also identifies barriers to implementation of these technologies and suggests policies to achieve the desired reductions. Several scenarios are promising, but strong, and effective policies such as research and development, subsidies, energy taxes, or regulations will be necessary to overcome barriers, such as cost and consumer choice.

Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment by Board on Energy and Environmental Systems,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,Transportation Research Board Pdf

The electric vehicle offers many promises—increasing U.S. energy security by reducing petroleum dependence, contributing to climate-change initiatives by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, stimulating long-term economic growth through the development of new technologies and industries, and improving public health by improving local air quality. There are, however, substantial technical, social, and economic barriers to widespread adoption of electric vehicles, including vehicle cost, small driving range, long charging times, and the need for a charging infrastructure. In addition, people are unfamiliar with electric vehicles, are uncertain about their costs and benefits, and have diverse needs that current electric vehicles might not meet. Although a person might derive some personal benefits from ownership, the costs of achieving the social benefits, such as reduced GHG emissions, are borne largely by the people who purchase the vehicles. Given the recognized barriers to electric-vehicle adoption, Congress asked the Department of Energy (DOE) to commission a study by the National Academies to address market barriers that are slowing the purchase of electric vehicles and hindering the deployment of supporting infrastructure. As a result of the request, the National Research Council (NRC)—a part of the National Academies—appointed the Committee on Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment. This committee documented their findings in two reports—a short interim report focused on near-term options, and a final comprehensive report. Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment fulfills the request for the short interim report that addresses specifically the following issues: infrastructure needs for electric vehicles, barriers to deploying the infrastructure, and possible roles of the federal government in overcoming the barriers. This report also includes an initial discussion of the pros and cons of the possible roles. This interim report does not address the committee's full statement of task and does not offer any recommendations because the committee is still in its early stages of data-gathering. The committee will continue to gather and review information and conduct analyses through late spring 2014 and will issue its final report in late summer 2014. Overcoming Barriers to Electric-Vehicle Deployment focuses on the light-duty vehicle sector in the United States and restricts its discussion of electric vehicles to plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), which include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The common feature of these vehicles is that their batteries are charged by being plugged into the electric grid. BEVs differ from PHEVs because they operate solely on electricity stored in a battery (that is, there is no other power source); PHEVs have internal combustion engines that can supplement the electric power train. Although this report considers PEVs generally, the committee recognizes that there are fundamental differences between PHEVs and BEVs.

Tesla Model S. Market and Sales Strategy by Erik Somssich Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, 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.

Tesla Motors, Inc. Market Analysis and Definition by Dominic Birk Pdf

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.
