Tesla Inc. Strategic Management Final Paper

Columbia Southern University

BBA 4951, Business Policy and Strategy


Introduction

Tesla Motors, founded in 2003 by engineers Jeffrey Straubel, Elon Musk, and Marc

Tarpenning, designs, develops, manufactures, and sells fully electric vehicles and advanced

powertrain components (David & David, 2017). Tesla mission statement is “to accelerate the

world’s transition to sustainable energy” (Tesla, n.d.). Its vision statement is “to create the most

compelling car company of the 21st century by driving the world’s transition to electric vehicles”

(Rowland, 2018). According to Elon Musk (2006), one of Tesla’s long-term plans is to build a

wide range of electric vehicles including affordably priced family cars in order to help accelerate

the move from a hydrocarbon economy to a solar electric economy. Tesla's first car, the

Roadster, price point was over $100,000 and Tesla used the money from this vehicle and its later

vehicles

to bring down the price point of electric vehicles. Tesla now produces and sells several electric

vehicles including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. The Model 3 has a

beginning price point of just over $40,000. In addition to electric vehicles and advanced

powertrain components, Tesla also sales solar products including solar roofs and solar panels.

Internal and External Issues

Tesla Motors, Inc. has several internal strengths including being a leading automotive

company on some of the best electric vehicles. Tesla Motors, Inc. delivered and sold over

367,500 vehicles in 2019 including the best three spots in terms of range with the Model S at the

top, traveling over 370 miles on a single charge (Gupta, 2020). Tesla Motors was named by

Forbes in 2019 as one of the top employers (Gupta, 2020) and is 3rd most innovative companies

in the world (Fox, 2020).

, Tesla Motors, Inc., however, does possess several internal weaknesses. There are

numerous manufacturing and production delays at Tesla Motors, Inc. on the launch on new

products because of their high innovation (Gupta, 2020). Their delivery rate is also an issue,

dropping in the first quarter of 2019 to 31% from its last quarter in 2018 (Gupta, 2020).

Regarding their production, Tesla has failed to produce any high levels of its electric vehicles for

any of its models with their main issue in the rate of production being its limited supply of

batteries. This shortage directly affected the sales of their electric vehicles and energy storage

systems (Gupta, 2020). Finally, a significant internal issue at Tesla Motors, Inc is the CEO

himself, Elon Musk as the sole representation. Tesla Motors, Inc. has a functional organization

structure with Elon Musk as its CEO (David & David, 2017). This structure often leads to poor

communication and lack of understanding across departments. In addition, Elon Musk is known

as a as a perfectionist and a one-man show who is reluctant to delegate or relinquish control even

though he splits his time among his other company, Space Exploration Technologies and the

Boring Company (Gupta, 2020).

Tesla Motors, Inc. does have several external opportunities it can take advantage of. It

can expand into the untapped markets of Asian with its unsaturated field of automotive and

renewable energy markets (Gupta, 2020). It can take advantage of the rising demand for electric

vehicles which is expected to grow above $567 billion in 2025 and continue to decrease the price

of its electric vehicles, which continue to be expensive compared to fuel vehicles. Tesla Motors

Inc. should take advantage of its strong consumer confidence, having had two consecutive

profitable quarters and the stock market has responded with the price of Tesla stock doubling

(Gupta, 2020). Finally, one of Tesla’s Motors Inc. biggest opportunities is its intent to make its

own lithium-ion battery calls. Batteries are the reason why their products are still so expensive to

the public. By bringing the production in-house, Tesla can increase its manufacturing rate while

decreasing its production cost (Gupta, 2020).
