 Issues with Roadster ◦ Battery depletion ◦ Battery Recharge ◦ Price of car and replacement battery  Corrections made in Model S ◦ Battery depletion ◦ Battery Recharge ◦ Price of car and replacement battery

Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats

Strengths  Pioneers in the electric industry  Unique, with no competitors in the same class  Performance matching that of many high end gasoline cars  Longer range than most production electric cars, while being larger than most  The lowest drag coefficient in any available production car up until January 2013.

Weaknesses  Limited range  Charging stations not readily available everywhere in the world  Length in charge time(5-10 hours)  Lack of production  Limited exposure

Opportunities  Lack of knowledge among competitors ◦ Big competitors like Mercedes and Toyota had Tesla’s help in the development of their products.  No other countries currently produce a similar concept.  Can potentially go global  Leader in an uprising industry

Threats  Oil Companies ◦ Big Oil is a large issue economically as well as politically and pushing the automotive industry to non-gas powered options threatens their infrastructure.  Past Reputation ◦ The Roadster’s battery brick issue did a number on Tesla’s reputation.  Other companies on the rise in electric car industry
