Abstract

Tesla’s costs are divided into R&D, manufacturing, sales, administrative, capital, and operating expenses. R&D funds new vehicles, battery technology, and autonomous driving. Manufacturing costs cover labor, supplies, and operations. Sales costs are primarily driven by word-of-mouth and free media. Administrative expenses include payroll, overhead, and legal fees. The structure of shareholders is analyzed. Retail investors hold 43.16% of Tesla’s stock, while institutional ownership decreased from 43.01% to 42.84%. Corporate insiders, banks, asset management businesses, and investment advisors hold the majority of shares. The SWOT analysis is used to make a comprehensive analysis from four aspects. Tesla has strengths in energy efficiency, innovative design, and a strong brand image. However, it has difficulties with things like price, a wide choice of products, and limited visibility. Possibilities include internal battery manufacturing, eco-friendly automobiles, and autonomous driving technologies. New technology, heightened competitiveness, and long-term sustainability are among the threats.
