The Idea There are dozens of eco-friendly cars and dozens of
luxury vehicles in the market today, however, Tesla has is the
first to combine the two. Tesla utilizes both the luxury market and
green market in the car market, by providing the worlds first
luxury electric car. Its eco-friendly capacities and sharp
aesthetics attract many sectors of the car-buying market. Tesla
also provides the electric powertrain equipment, such as the Tesla
Supercharger Station and their backup batteries.

What the Experts Are Saying : Naturally, Tesla is the icon of this
industry. It is not only an awesome electric car, but is also
widely considered the best car ever mass manufactured (by auto
journalists and gearheads). Its manufacturing was just starting to
ramp up, things were going well for the company, and it looked like
10 years or so of investment were indeed going to pay off. -

CEO : Elon Musk Elon Musk is the owner and CEO of Telsa Motors.
Prior to Tesla, Musk invented PayPal, Zip2 and was the CEO/CTO of
SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies). He has a Physics degree
from U-Penn and a business degree from Wharton. He created Tesla
Motors, because he has always been focused on creating products
that are environmentally friendly while also being cutting edge in
the technological world.
Slide 5
The Product Models : Model S- The poster-child of the Tesla
Motors Company: premium electric sedan. The model Ss electric
powertrain delivers instantaneous acceleration allowing it to
accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds (Model S). the
combination of a long wheelbase, stiff structure, and compliant
tune of the air-spring suspension makes for a gentle, cosseting
ride. Teslas most popular model, Model S, is the worlds first
premium sedan to be engineered from the ground up as an electric
vehicle. Model S was named Motor Trends prestigious 2013 Car of the
Year, achieved the best safety score of any car ever tested by the
NHTSA, and Consumer Reports is calling it the best car it has ever
tested Model X:-The high-end/luxury version of an SUV. The design
of the model x blends the functionality and benefits of a minivan
and the fuel efficiency of a fully electric car (Model X). The
vehicles unique falcon wing doors allow easy accessibility to the
interior while maintaining a sleek design. In this growing "green"
society, more and more people are wanting to cut the exertion of
fossil fuels into the atmosphere by driving fuel efficient cars.
Tesla exceeds the fuel efficient standard by having a powerful
electric engine that limits the amount of energy lost to heat and
friction.

Slide 7
Competition Nissan Leaf : Tesla is both an electric AND Luxury
Car, as where Nissan Leaf only satisfies those looking for a
electric car. Leaf does not offer heated seats or advanced heating
systems for the winter. The Tesla battery also last much longer.
The Tesla is also much larger, so it can accommodate families and
groups of bigger sizes. BMW i3 : Tesla is a much more conventional
car, as the BMW has been described as narrow and small. The BMW i3
and Tesla both appeal to the luxury crowd, and in that case, the
Tesla provides far better computer systems and luxury additions
than the BMW i3. The Tesla also provides a 265 mile range, as where
the BMW only provides a 180 mile range. Additionally, the top speed
of the BMW is only 93 mph.

Recent Statistical Analysis Some highlights according to
thestreet.com Growth in the company's revenue appears to have
helped boost the earnings per share by 108% The debt-to-equity
ratio is somewhat low, currently at 0.91, and is less than that of
the industry average, implying that there has been a relatively
successful effort in the management of debt levels. Along with the
favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate
quick ratio of 1.33, which illustrates the ability to avoid
short-term cash problems.(thestreet) The company's current return
on equity (net income) greatly increased when compared to its ROE
(return on Equity)from the same quarter one year prior. This is a
signal of significant strength within the corporation.

www.macleans.ca TESLA You should invest in Tesla because: 1)The
company is a smart, well founded, and strongly lead enterprise that
sells innovative and cutting edge products that will always be
popular 2)The company knows how to capitalize off modern trends,
because their staff and leadership are among the smartest
entrepreneurs in the world 3)While, their stock is not at bargain
price, due to their growing success and conventionality, we believe
their success has much more room to grow as they are creating new
products that appeal to a greater mass, and as their popularity
grows, their price will most likely fall, which allows more people
to be able to afford their company. Similarly, as their number of
charging stations increases, there will be fewer obstacles drivers
of this new car will have to overcome.

Over the past several years, there has been a search for
alternative fuel and greener forms of transportation. We feel that
Tesla has utilized this market to its full potential, as they are
the only car on the market of its type (fully electric car) Future
Landscape of Success
Slide 14
The Future Tesla looks to expand their number of models to
vehicles such as the first every electric pick-up truck.

In future years, Tesla is planning on building a large scale
factory that will provide battery cells for its vehicles. The
factory will allow them to achieve economies of scale and minimize
costs through innovative manufacturing and optimizing production
process. The new factory (The Gigafactory) will be designed to
produce lithium ion batters faster which in result, reduce cell
cost for its future electric vehicles. Tesla is a growing factory
and will build an even larger consumer group once the Gigafactories
are built (Six).
Slide 15
They also look to increase the number of their Supercharger
stations nationwide.

What We Think In this growing "green" society, more and more
people are wanting to cut the exertion of fossil fuels into the
atmosphere by driving fuel efficient cars. Tesla exceeds the fuel
efficient standard by having a powerful electric engine that limits
the amount of energy lost to heat and friction. In the car
industry, Tesla vehicles are the only cars that are completely
electric. Because of this, there are no car companies that can
compete with the fully electric range of Tesla vehicles. There is a
growing demand for fuel efficient technology and the tesla is at
the forefront.
