Role of Elon Musk in Tesla
Elon Musk’s name carries an air of mystery and excitement with it – and rightfully so. The South African businessman and engineer has set out to revolutionize the automotive industry, making electric and autonomous vehicles available to the public. His involvement in Tesla, the revolutionary electric car manufacturer, and their success is what’s making it all possible. But what exactly does Musk do for Tesla and how has he helped the company built its iconic empire so quickly?
Telsa was founded in 2003 by two entrepreneurs, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, and they recruited Musk as a chairman of their Board of Directors. Musk had a clear vision of the company’s mission, which was to ‘accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing attractive, electric-powered vehicles to market’. He invested his own money into the venture, as well as using his contacts to help get the company off the ground. As CEO, Musk not only handles the company’s finances and acts as it’s spokesperson, but he brings a certain level of ‘star power’ to the company. Thanks to his celebrity status, he has been able to encourage more and more people to invest in Tesla and its products.
Musk is highly influential in Telsa’s design and R&D. He works closely with a team of world-class engineers and designers on creating innovative, high-performance electric vehicles. Tesla’s Design Studio are working to produce the cars of the future, which includes features such as full self-driving capabilities, increased safety features and infotainment systems. Musk is also instrumental in forging collaborations between Tesla and other tech companies, such as Panasonic and SpaceX, which has lead to the development of cutting-edge technologies such as the Autopilot.
As if that wasn’t enough, Musk also has a role to play in the marketing of Tesla’s products. It is his role to really convey the vision behind what Tesla are doing, both in interviews and public appearances. Much of his speeches and interviews are focused on why electric cars are the future and how he believes Tesla can help make this future a reality. Musk is often credited with ‘selling’ Tesla’s products to the world, and his charismatic and engaging personality has helped to achieve this.
Finally, it is also important to note that Musk does not just stick to what he knows best – automobiles. Under his leadership, Tesla has made forays into the renewable energy industry, issuing solar panels and solar roof tiles which convert solar energy into electricity. Again, his unique vision has made this transition into the solar industry a success by making renewable energy more accessible and appealing to a wide variety of consumers.
In conclusion, it is evident that Elon Musk plays a hugely important role in Tesla’s success. Not only is he important in terms of leadership, R&D and marketing, but also his own vision and charisma. Musk has always had an unwavering belief in Tesla and has worked relentlessly to make his dream a reality, and that is something that no amount of money can buy.
Tesla’s Environmental Impact
In the past few years, there has been growing concern about the environmental impact of the automotive industry, as governments around the world are pushing to reduce carbon emissions. Tesla responded to this by making electric cars that generate no emissions whatsoever, and with their efficiency, they offer a viable and pollution-free alternative to the traditional petrol-powered cars.
The company boasts some impressive figures – their cars are up to 95% cleaner than an average petrol or diesel car, and their batteries are composed entirely of recyclable materials, making them much easier to dispose of. Their cars also use around 20% of the energy required by an internal combustion engine car, so they are much more efficient when it comes to energy usage too.
In addition, Tesla has greatly reduced the amount of materials needed to build their cars. Their focus on such efficiency has proved to be extremely successful, and their cars weigh a fraction of their petrol and diesel equivalents. This means less raw materials are necessary to build the car, resulting in less strain on the environment.
Overall, Tesla’s cars and power solutions have had an incredibly beneficial effect on the environment. Their clean energy solutions have helped reduce the strain on the environment, and have helped to spur governments around the world to start developing alternative energy solutions for the public. There is much more work to do, but Elon Musk and Tesla have certainly made a great start.
Tesla’s Innovations
It is important to note that in addition to producing ‘green’ cars, Tesla also has been at the forefront of automotive innovation. Tesla’s vehicles are some of the most advanced in the world, with features such as self-driving technology, autopilot, full autonomy, and amazing customer service.
Tesla’s innovative in-car infotainment system, also known as ‘TeslaOS’, is an outstanding example of their technological prowess. The system allows for full communication between the car and driver, with high-resolution displays and advanced touch-screen user interfaces. On top of this, TeslaOS also has online streaming services and access to a library of onboard tutorials and videos, making it a great way to stay entertained while on the go.
Tesla has also shown amazing levels of customer support, with a comprehensive help centre, 24/7 Tesla support, and the ability to contact Tesla technicians directly by phone. This makes Tesla vehicles some of the most reliable and user-friendly cars available on the market. Tesla also runs extensive maintenance and research centres to ensure that their vehicles meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Finally, Tesla recently launched its new ‘Autopilot’ feature, which can handle tasks such as changing lanes and parking, as well as providing advanced safety features such as Blind Spot Warning. This set of features further demonstrates Tesla’s commitment to innovation and safety, and helps to make driving much more efficient and stress-free for drivers.
Tesla’s Financial Success
Tesla has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, with a market capitalisation of just $4 billion in 2012, to a staggering $85 billion at the start of 2020. This incredible growth can be attributed to Musk’s leadership, vision and innovation. He has made a number of bold decisions that have paid off, such as the decision to turn Tesla into a publicly listed company in 2010. This move has allowed a much larger group of people to invest in the company and see it as a viable investment, greatly increasing Tesla’s financial success.
Musk also invested heavily into cutting-edge research and development, which included the development of the Autopilot system. This system has allowed Tesla’s cars to recognize objects, pedestrians, and vehicle traffic with much accuracy, allowing Tesla to become the first car manufacturer to offer a fully functioning self-driving car. Musks’s vision to make Tesla the most advanced electric car manufacturer in the world has paid off, with the company becoming one of the most profitable companies in the automotive industry.
Finally, it also cannot be forgotten that Musk’s media persona and stature as a celebrity businessman has had a hugely positive effect on Tesla’s financial success. His unique personality, controversial behaviour and willingness to take risks made it easier for potential investors to imagine a bright future for Tesla.
Tesla’s Impact on the Auto Industry
Tesla’s success has had a profound effect on the automotive industry. Not only have they solidified the place of electric cars in the public eye, but by introducing highly advanced and innovative technology, they have forced other car manufacturers to follow suit.
