1 Foundations of Business Strategy Strategic Analysis Report: Tesla Motors Inc. 1 Executive Summary Tesla Motors Inc. is part of the automotive industry, with a specialization in the electric vehicle (EV) market, it manufactures vehicle as well as electric powertrain components. The market for electric- based vehicles is expected to grow approximately to 10.6 million globally, or to approximately 14% of new vehicles sold by 2015, from 1.75 million units or 3% of new vehicles sold in 2008 (2). GM, Toyota and BMW own a significant part of this market (24%) with Tesla Motors only accounting for 0.01% as seen in Exhibit B. Industry The electric vehicle industry growth however is increasing as fuel prices remain high and there is a greater concern for the environment thereby resulting an ever- increasing demand for more energy efficient cars (See Exhibit A). Political factors are incentivizing competitors such as BMW, GM and Toyota to invest in more research and development of effective electric vehicles due to grants provided by the government (See Exhibit B for details on each manufacturers electric vehicle fleet). Tesla will experience direct competition from other electric vehicle entrants, with indirect competition from existing and emerging plug- in hybrid vehicle manufacturers and competition from substitutes including gasoline hybrid and gasoline powered vehicles (See Exhibit C). Tesla Motors is currently operating within the upper- range luxury vehicle market that accounts for 15% of the market (3) and there is currently little threat from the other EV manufacturers with respect to a product that can compete against the performance offered by Tesla s vehicles for the same price range (Based on analysis from Exhibit A, B). Tesla has a major competitive advantage due to its Powertrain technology as seen in Exhibit D but the direction of other large manufacturers towards developing competitive EVs means this advantage may dwindle as these firms direct more resources towards developing at par technology (Exhibit B). Technological developments especially with battery technologies will result in meaningful cost reductions. Currently EV batteries account for 50% cost of the vehicle (2), with limitations for mass adoption of battery powered electric vehicles being battery range limitation and high costs. Continued R&D and anticipated economies of scale should spur significant cost reductions and performance improvements (5). Furthermore, the economy bouncing back from a recession and customers looking to save on costs with EVs would mean Tesla needs to be develop supporting infrastructure through charging stations, availability of plug- ins in parking garages, restaurants and other commercial establishments to support recharging facilities for its vehicles (3). This should overcome the range anxiety that is currently hindering adoption rates of electric vehicles in the market and
2 show promising demand for Tesla Motors vehicles and other electric vehicles in the near future (4). Competitive Situation Tesla Motors is particularly well positioned to capture and sustain a significant share of the high- end luxury niche market. Through analysis of Exhibit C, competition with alternative products such as hybrids and low displacement diesel vehicles poses a moderate threat; substitute products that are currently offered such as GM s Chevy Volt have to yet to reach the performance advantage Tesla products have to offer. Tesla Motors is well placed at an advantage due to its technology, brand recognition and unique component product lines (power trains, vehicle batteries etc.) as seen in Exhibit D & E. Currently, in the automotive industry, large capital investment is required to setup an automobile- manufacturing factory. This coupled with strict laws and regulations for entry into the industry make it difficult for new competitors to affect the strategic positioning Tesla has (Exhibit C). Continued partnership with large vehicle manufacturers such as Toyota and Daimler mean only a small number of true competing vehicles are present, that too in different niches compared to Tesla resulting in a overall low threat to the company. Bargaining power evidenced by buyers is extremely low due to a large demand for electric vehicles that provide the range given by Tesla, no other comparable technology exists both at a consumer choice level or business choice level from other manufacturers when it comes to vehicle choice or electric battery/power train technology (Exhibit C). Bargaining power from suppliers is also low due to all components of Tesla cars being developed primarily in- house. Tesla sources its Li- ion cells from various manufacturers but its engine and chassis are developed in house. Moreover, Tesla Motors has a distinctive and difficult to imitate capability when it comes to its brand appeal as well as integration of powertrain technology with vehicle design and systems (4). Tesla has a great competitive advantage when it comes to leading in electric vehicle technology and ability to integrate its powertrain technology with its vehicle design and software to produce a high performing product (See Exhibit E). It s ability to leverage its advanced technology through the use of unique sales model such as owning and controlling its own vehicle sales network helps to rapidly focus on product development through quick customer feedback (See Exhibit F). Moreover, strong alliances with major manufacturers through supplying powertrain components and exclusive partnerships provide a competitive advantage in diversifying its service model to not solely relay on vehicle sales and enhance its research and development of products by leveraging other manufacturing insights (See Exhibit F). Conclusion That being said, although Tesla Motors is well placed in the industry right now a question remains on how their current capabilities will enable them to remain at a competitive advantage in the Electric Vehicle market in the near future. Major manufacturers such as GM and Toyota are investing more resources into developing technology that is at par with what is being developed by Tesla. Tesla has evident weaknesses when it comes to supply problems in terms of components if demand
3 Foundations of Business Strategy Strategic Analysis Report: Tesla Motors Inc. 3 increases significantly (Exhibit E). Furthermore, the luxury market share is quite niche and a small part of the overall electric vehicle market. In order to sustain its competitive advantage it has to attempt to follow one or more of the following strategic paths in the near future: Enter the mass market through development mid to low- range cost electric vehicles, this will allow them to leverage its technological advantage and capture a significant piece of the EV market and increase its customer loyalty base. This is currently evidenced by Tesla Motors plane to release a upper- mid- range model named X in the near future (3). Continue to create supporting infrastructure in a manner that enables not only travelling through all of North America but globally through charging station development in Europe and other areas such as Australia where growth Tesla cars is prevalent. Diversify their technological capability to serve other industries aside from automobiles such as the aviation industry, railway industry and shipping industry. Based on these three possibilities, through a VRIN analysis (See Exhibit D), leveraging Tesla s innovative culture and current advantage in terms of technological capability. It is recommended that Tesla Motors being by investigating potential industries outside of the automobile industry to leverage its technology. Example being the incorporation of powertrain technology into Boeing s 787 dream- liner fleet that is currently experiencing battery efficiency issues (7). This strategic approach increases the possibility of exploiting economic rents in untapped markets where current technology is not feasible/sufficient. Revenue from this strategic approach can then be used to aggressively expand production capabilities of Electric Vehicles at Tesla Motors as well as invest in improving its powertrain technology and enable it to compete with the larger manufacturers that are set to enter the market with well- performing electric vehicles soon.
4 Exhibits Exhibit A: Environmental Analysis Demographic Trends Environmental Analysis Tesla s high price point caters towards individuals with a yearly disposable income of $100,000+ Influx of baby boomers set to retire and increase in younger generation will mean an consumer base catered more consciously towards buying green friendly products Target market are car enthusiasts, follow trends and are environmentally conscious Major automobile market holders are: Toyota Motor Corporation General Motors Corporation Ford Motor Company Hyundai- Kia Automotive Hondo Motor Ltd.
