  • Elon Musk! He Is a Remarkable Visionary and Entrepreneur
    share, investors clearly own Tesla for its anticipated earnings in 2020 and beyond. Aside from valuation, Bradley, Foster & Sargent, Inc. another potential problem is Tesla’s future profitability without government subsidies and tax credits. Quarterly Market Commentary Should Investors Buy Tesla at the Current Price? In our view, there is only one reason to own Tesla at this extremely rich valuation. And that reason is Elon Musk! He is a remarkable visionary and entrepreneur. Whatever he has touched has turned to gold. He has the Midas touch. Investors want to own Tesla because Musk thinks outside the box and appears to be July 2017 able to conform reality to his vision of the future. Investors also want to own the stock because they see Tesla as a technology, rather than an automobile, company. While a number of auto analysts are lukewarm Elon Musk: The Man with the Midas Touch on Tesla, technology analysts are more positive. Tencent, the giant Chinese social media company with the largest market capitalization of any Chinese stock, recently bought 5% of Tesla stock on the open “I would like to die thinking that humanity has a bright future. If we can solve sustainable market at a cost of $1.8 billion. Why? Because they see Tesla as a technology company which can help energy and be well on our way to becoming a multiplanetary species with a self-sustaining Tencent in China. civilization on another planet — to cope with a worst-case scenario happening and extinguishing human consciousness — then, I think that would be really good.” Elon Musk, 2015 Musk is an amazingly talented man.

  • 2013 Automobile of the Year: Tesla Model S
    2013 Automobile of the Year: Tesla Model S From our January, 2013 issue / By David Zenlea / Photos by A. J. Mueller Last summer, Automobile Magazine editors had the opportunity to interview Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, as the company launched its all-new electric sedan. A well-known industry insider warned us not to fall for Musk's smooth talk. "Don't bring any cash," he said. "Because you'll be offering to give it to him twenty minutes into the interview." To say there's healthy skepticism regarding Tesla and its new wundercar is an understatement: in many industry circles, it borders on outright hostility. We understand why. Building a car -- any car -- is really hard. Musk, the PayPal billionaire whose automotive accomplishments were limited to converting 2350 Lotus Elises to run on batteries, was not only proposing a class-leading sport sedan, but he promised it would have a more advanced electric powertrain than anything global automakers could muster. He was doing this with our money -- your money -- courtesy of a $465 million loan from the Department of Energy, and he claimed to be doing it for our own good: "Since we are not appropriately pricing the CO2 capacity of the oceans and atmosphere, then the only way I could think to address that was with innovation." We believe the proper business term to describe such a gambit is chutzpah. We left the interview with our wallets no lighter, eager to see how the Model S would perform in the real world, removed from Musk's spin and Tesla's chaperones.

  • Dialogue, Debate, and Discussion
    Management and Organization Review page 1 of 10 doi: 10.1017/mor.2018.31 Dialogue, Debate, and Discussion What Does the Success of Tesla Mean for the Future Dynamics in the Global Automobile Sector? Greg Perkins1 and Johann Peter Murmann2,3 1University of Queensland, Australia, 2University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, and 3University of New South Wales, Australia INTRODUCTION After reading Jacobides, MacDuffie, and Tae (2016), the success of Tesla in launching a new automobile company in a crowded sector puzzled us. Jacobides, MacDuffie, and Tae (2016) had convinced us that developing the capabilities to become the manufacturer of a complete, safe automobile system would be quite difficult. Since the establishment of the dominant design for the auto in the 1920s, the industry has operated on the premise of massive economies of scale. Original equipment manufacturers’ (OEMs) role in taking responsibility for the legal liability of the whole automobile, combined with their extensive supply and marketing chains, has ensured they remained dominant in the sector despite some missteps with modularisation and outsourcing efforts (Jacobides, MacDuffie, & Tae, 2016; Schulze, MacDuffie, & Taube, 2015). No major component supplier has succeeded in forward integrating into becoming an OEM and no new entrants have challenged the dominance of the incumbent OEMs since the earliest days of the auto industry (Jacobides & MacDuffie, 2013). Researching the development history of Tesla, we have pieced together the key features of how Tesla achieved its successful entry into the automobile sector. From this we have concluded, based on the development time and costs associated with the Tesla Model S, that a well-funded company could develop a new electric vehicle (EV) from scratch and move it into production within 3 to 5 years, by spending $1– 2 billion of capital for design, development, and manufacturing.

  • Tesla Model S: the 2013 Yahoo! Autos Car of the Year
    Tesla Model S: The 2013 Yahoo! Autos Car of the Year By Marco R. della Cava | Motoramic – 3 hours ago The 2013 model year brought consumers a fleet of new machines, and the editors and writers of Yahoo! Autos tested over 100 new models this year, from the brutish Ford Shelby GT500 to the gas-sipping Toyota Prius C. But all those appear to be automotive afterthoughts when compared to that futureshock of an electric sedan and Yahoo! Autos' Car of the Year: the Tesla Model S. PayPal co-founder Elon Musk's foray into the car game started in 2008 with the nimble Tesla Roadster, a Lotus Elise makeover that swapped an internal combustion engine for a suitcase full of lithium-ion battery packs. But where that coupe was a high-tech experiment disguised as a $100,000 eco-conscious status symbol, the seven-passenger, $50,000-on-up Model S sedan promised to be a make-or-break machine that would determine whether Silicon Valley-based Tesla Motors can survive as a legitimate purveyor of reliable everyday cars. The result? While the company and its car still have hurdles to overcome before either becomes a streetside staple, the Model S is the year's most noteworthy automobile for the way Tesla has erased long-perceived limitations of electric cars (poor range, small size, spartan interiors) and, going where no established automaker has yet to tread, creating an uncompromised yet practical object of desire. A day spent driving a top-of-the-range Model S Signature Performance Edition on Bay Area backroads and freeways revealed the Tesla's split personality.
