A WALL STREET JOURNAL BUSINESS BESTSELLER • The riveting inside story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car—from award-winning Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins. “A deeply reported and business-savvy chronicle of Tesla's wild ride.” —Walter Isaacson, New York Times Book Review Tesla is the envy of the automotive world. Born at the start of the millennium, it was the first car company to be valued at $1 trillion. Its CEO, the mercurial, charismatic Elon Musk has become not just a celebrity but the richest man in the world. But Tesla’s success was far from guaranteed. Founded in the 2000s, the company was built on an audacious vision. Musk and a small band of Silicon Valley engineers set out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, and cleaner than any gas-guzzler on the road. Tesla would undergo a hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals—pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers. Musk often found himself in the public’s crosshairs, threatening to bring down the company he had helped build. Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, breakdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of impossible wagers and unlikely triumphs, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of innovators beat the odds—and changed the future.

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.

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.

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.

A USA Today New and Noteworthy Title “You’ll tell me if it ever starts getting genuinely insane, right?”—Elon Musk, TED interview Hamish McKenzie tells how a Silicon Valley start-up's wild dream came true. Tesla is a car company that stood up against not only the might of the government-backed Detroit car manufacturers but also the massive power of Big Oil and its benefactors, the infamous Koch brothers. The award-winning Tesla Model 3, a premium mass-market electric car that went on sale in 2018, has reconfigured the popular perception of Tesla and continues to transform the public's relationship with motor vehicles—much like Ford's Model T did nearly a century ago. At the same time, company CEO Elon Musk courts controversy and spars with critics through his Twitter account, just as Tesla's ever-increasing debt teeters on junk bond status.... As McKenzie's rigorously reported account shows, Tesla has triggered frenzied competition from newcomers and traditional automakers alike, but it retains an edge because of its expansive infrastructure and the stupendous battery factory it built in the Nevada desert. The popularity of electric cars is growing around the world, especially in China, and McKenzie interviews little-known titans who have the money and the market access to power a global electric car revolution quickly and decisively. Insane Mode started off as a feature on the dual-motor Tesla Model S, which gave the car Ferrari-like acceleration, but it's also the perfect description of the operating cycle of a company that has sworn it won't rest until every car on the road is electric. Here is a story about the very best kind of American ingenuity and its history-making potential. Buckle up!

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.

Nikola Tesla was one of the great innovative genuises and forward thinkers of the 19th and 20th centuries. He contributed significantly to the development of the alternating current electric supply system and invented (among many other things) the tesla coil, an electrical transformer that is still widely used. His work fell into obscurity until fairly recently when the surge of interest in projects, such as electric cars (and some other more bizarre theories and fads) brought his ideas back to the forefront of technology and popular culture. The Tesla Motor Company takes its name from the scientist and inventor and the AC motor that it uses in its vehicles is a direct descendant of Tesla’s 1882 design, showing how far reaching and ahead of its time his thinking really was.
