Introduction

Tesla, Inc. is an American corporation located in Palo Alto, California, for electric vehicles and sustainable energy. According to Musk (2020), the stock value of Tesla exceeded the boundaries of 150 billion. It made the electric car startup more valuable than the combined GM, Ford, and Chrysler and the worlds second most valued automobile business, only after Toyota Motor Corp (Musk, 2020). Current Tesla goods include electric automobiles, energy storage systems, solar panels, and solar roof tiles from house to grid, and other products and services associated with the production. Roadster has introduced Teslas state-of-the-art engine and battery technologies. Tesla developed Model S, which has become the most refined vehicle in every class, the first-ever premium all-electric Sedan in the world.

Grand Strategy Matrix

Tesla Motors is in the Grand Strategy Matrix at now, Quadrant 1. Tesla Motors has a robust approach to diversifying/permeating the market. According to McCain (2019), it is recommended that Tesla focuses on achieving economies of scale by opening factories in both the European and Chinese markets (p. 1). Solar City, a firm that specializes in solar energy services, was recently bought using this strategy. Tesla intends to combine the production and storage of energy; the firm will be able to supply battery-operated solar roof products. Tesla already manufactures energy for powerhouses and a commercially available energy battery. Tesla works to infiltrate the market as well. The Tesla Model S currently holds a significant position in the U.S. luxury automobile market, and the name Tesla has been changed to Solar City Tesla Energy. It will enable the firm to build up a particular market share and extend its profit margin in the solar energy industry.
