No one really knows if the future of these industries will be
dominated by Musk’s ventures, but his vision and
execution, inspired by the best entrepreneurs of the
industrial and digital ages, have already impulsed a radical
wave of change across markets and set a standard forthe

The Ford T’s phenomenal success and the development of cheap oil by
Rockefeller killed the electric car dream for a century. Combine that with
the political choiceof developing personal transportation over public
transportation and you get a planet full of gas-powered individual vehicles.
But the automotive industry decided otherwise
By 1910 gasoline cars started to outperform electric cars in
terms of range, top speed and charging infrastructure.
And Ford’s new methods made it affordable
Ford applied the methods of Taylorism (division of
production in small tasks) to automobile production and
added his secret sauce: the assembly line. Cars moved
along an assembly line and workers repeated the same task
on every car instead of building each one from scratch. As a
result, productivity rose and gasoline car prices collapsed.
shrank car production time by
a factor of 8 and price followed.

Over the last decades, innovation in the car industry has mainly been incremental
innovation: carmakers have mainly focused on feature innovation (more room, a
few extra miles per gallon, sleeker design, better electronics, particle filters…) but no
successful attempt has been made to replacethe gas engine at scale. One notable
exception - the hybrid vehicle – has added an electric engine to the gas one.
Over the same time period, communication technologies have encountered multiple
disruptions. How can it be that one type of technology could have advanced this
much while another has stayed almostthe same for over a century?

Enough solar energy hits the Earth’s
surface in 90 minutes to equal a year’s
worth of worldwide energy consumption
from all sources put together.
Not such a crazy vision
Almost all the energy used by planet Earth and its inhabitants (be it plants or animals) comes from the sun. Fossil fuels are
nothing more than energy captured from the sun and stored underground millions of years ago. Today, less than 1% of the
energy used by humans come from the sun, but Tesla is hoping to change that.
90 minutes of sun
To convert enough solar energy for the
Earth’s consumption in 2030, we would
need to cover only 0.1% of its surface
with solar panels. Not much considering

Creating a community of believers
Tesla is a community-driven company. Just like Apple it sparks fascination for its products and its brand to create a
community of early adopters. Tesla encourages its customers to interact with each other and with the brand to
spread the word of its world-changing mission.
Tesla leverages its community of users to create
marketing campaigns. In 2017, it set up a contest in
which users were able to submit their own
commercial video clip for the company. Hundreds of
videos were posted and 10 of them were selected.
Half of them were about Tesla’s vision.
Tesla doesn’t sell its products, it
sells a vision and turns customers
into believers. It doesn’t need to
spend much on marketing and its
advertising budget per car sold is
40x less than traditional

Industrial system
To achieve its ambitious vision and reach product perfection,
Tesla has created a complete industrial system from scratch.

Alphabet Inc., CEO
Rooted in Tesla’s philosophy is a
strong belief that new technologies
can challenge the status quo and
achieve things everyone believed

Theorem #2:
The status quo is meant to be broken
32. 32
Electric cars have always been seen as underperforming, expensive and unattractive cars.
Consumers and automakers alike had strong preconceived ideas about electric cars and
thought they’d nevermatch market expectations. Proving that electric cars can combine
performance, range, desirability and affordability has been the main motivation forTesla to
innovate this past decade.
Performance & range
• Battery autonomy is too short
for long drives and electric
cars underperformed at high
speed due to lack of braking.
• No existing charging
infrastructure significantly
reduced potential car range.
Price
• Because of the high cost
of batteries (over 40% of
total cost), electric cars
have always been much
more expensive than
gasoline car.
Desirability
• Poor driving experience.
• The usual “green” design of
electric cars was not
attractive, often associated
with golf carts.

Reasoning by analogy means replicating experiences and ideas that are widely accepted. To create Tesla, Musk did not
reason by analogy and never made assumptions. He used what he calls “First Principles Thinking” to challenge the status
quo and solve complex problems.
“First Principles Thinking”
Yes, batteries are very expensive.
How can their price be reduced?
What is a battery made of?
Where can its materialconstituents be
bought at the best price?
Analogy = status quo
Electric vehicles are not desired because they
are less powerful, not as attractive astraditional
cars, less convenient. Moreover, the cost of
battery manufacturing is too expensive.
Applying “First Principles Thinking” to override common beliefs
VS
When you want to do something
new, you have to apply the
physics approach. […]
First principles is a physics way of
looking at the world…what that
really means is that you boil
things down to the most
fundamental truths…and then
reason up from there…that takes
a lot more mental energy .

No one had ever tried to combine hundreds of lithium-
ion batteries to power a car. Tesla ended up at the
cutting edge of technology.
And realizing car batteries can actually be much cheaper
The battery pack is the most important and expensive component of an electric vehicle. In the early days of the company,
Tesla realized that the cost of lithium-ion batteries (the ones powering yourlaptops and other hardware) was decreasing
at a rapid pace, and that combining them together could poweran electric car efficiently.
The price of small lithium-ion batteries dropped by
roughly a factor of 10 between 1991 and 2005.
As demand increases, future battery prices are
expected to fall.

Henry Ford
Ford Founder
To reach the quality, price and production scale he
envisioned for his Model T, Henry Ford built “River
Rouge”, a production complex that integrated all the
necessary skills and elements to build his cars. This
strategy was theorized as verticalintegration, and
after decades of success, was abandoned by most
industrials. Tesla is bringing it back into fashion,
integrating production and locating it on American
soil. Back to basics!
If you want it
done right, do
it yourself!
“
’’
Theorem #3:
Integration is the way to perfection
38. 38
Tesla: Integrating production to match its ambitions
Integrated Production
• Tesla made an early shift to integration of
key components in its Fremont factory (seats,
high-voltage cables, displays, fuses, and other
smaller systems).
• A large part of Tesla’s suppliersare based
in the San Francisco Bay Area or have opened
factories there to meet Tesla’s needs.
Tesla launched the first vertically integrated car company since Ford’s River Rouge plant’s heyday in the 1920s.
Launching a car company is already a big challenge, why would Tesla try to do it on its own?
Rethinking Organization
• All teams (design, assembly, engineering)
work in the same factory in constant
interaction.
• Tesla created dataflows across
departments, making sure everyone has access
to all the information they need to do their job.
But why integrate?
Sharing information faster
Launching a new product presents a team with
thousands of small decisions and working with
foreign suppliers makes sharing this information
complex.
E.g. Tesla had the engineering team walk into the factory
gathering feedbacks from workers every day.
Accelerating learning cycles
Integrating enables faster cycles of learning and
improvement.
E.g. Tesla made over 50 changes per week to the same
car model.
Bringing frontier tech to market
When you build something yourself, you develop a
deeper understanding of your product, and it enables
you to build tech that is not available on the market.
E.g. Tesla’s ludicrous mode (fullacceleration)is a result of
its internal research in safety fuses.

Automating factories to gain in production scale
Just like Ford in its time, Tesla is reinventing the organization of production in its own factory to decrease production
time and cost. Tesla envisions a lean oriented production, with a seamless flow of people, material and information.
One method: Automation
• Tesla heavily relies on machine automation and acquired market
leader Grohmann and startup Perbix to integrate the needed skills.
• On one assembly line, Tesla can build different models.
• Thanks to software, Tesla makes huge savings.
When a traditional carmaker needs 100 cars to pass crash tests,
Tesla needs only 1 in real conditions, the 99 previous tests are
virtualized.

Building the largest factory in the world to ensure battery supply
Tesla is growing at a tremendous pace and if it meets its sales target of 500,000 cars per year from 2018, it shall consume
100% of today’s global lithium-ion batteries production. In addition, the same batteries are used inside Powerwalls and
Powerpacks. No automaker plans to sell this volume of electric cars, so battery providers don’t want to scale up production.
For Tesla, scaling its own production will be necessary, for independence, performance as well as - and mostly – for scale
reasons.
In 2016, Tesla started building a solar powered
Gigafactory in Nevada to scale itslithium-ion battery
production, in partnership with Panasonic.

Tesla: expanding along the customer’s journey
Buy Sales Use Servicing Use Insurance
Tesla is disrupting the automotive retail market completely. Cars are traditionally sold through dealerships
which, according to Musk, rely on prohibitive maintenance prices to make money.
Apple Store-like shops
Tesla has a direct sales model, and doesn’t
sell through dealerships but through its
own stores located in affluent malls.
Its stores were designed by George
Blankenship, the mind behind Apple
Stores, and provide an exceptional
experience to Tesla customers (digital
displays, videos, design studio). The car is
delivered to your home in a concierge
fashion.
Integrated maintenance
Because they are electric, Tesla cars
require 70% less maintenance than
average gasoline cars.
Most maintenance issues are minor and
can be done remotely. Tesla setup the
Tesla Mobile service, a maintenance
team that repairs your car at home.
Integrated insurance?
Tesla has started selling car insurance
(in partnership with insurers) with its
vehicles in Asia.
From Musk’s own sayings, this is part
of an overall vision to one day include
insurance in the price of the car.

The main limitation factorfor electric car sales was the poorrange of cars, due to the performance of the batteries and
the lack of charging infrastructure. Instead of relying on the existing and growing charging infrastructure, Tesla is
building its own Supercharger network.
Building a charging infrastructure to ensure the best customer experience
A global network of Superchargers:
• 10,000 Superchargers worldwide (2018).
• Mainly on highways and outside of cities.
• Quick charging: from 10% to 80% in less than
40 minutes: 3 times faster than average.
… and local destination chargers
• At home: Tesla wall connectors to charge your
car in your garage.
• On the go : destination chargers, in
partnership with hotels or restaurants. Tesla
plans to have 15,000 destination chargers by
2018.
Tesla cars serve as the first customers to legitimate the
investment to build this charging infrastructure. Until
2016, Tesla owners could charge their car for free at
superchargers.
As the network grows, owning a Tesla becomes
more convenient and reduces barriers for Tesla sales.

Becoming a utility to scale energy production and storage
In addition to its B2C offering, Tesla is building a network of batteries and solar farms for communities, allowing them to
convert and store massive amounts of solar energy and making them less dependent on the traditional grid. Little by little,
Tesla is starting to look like a utility company.
Tesla sells and setsup solar farms
for communities for energy

52. 52
Beyond driving the car, software controls all aspects of the Tesla cars’ operation and experience. There are no
buttons to be seen inside the car, as all features can be controlled from the giant central screen, or remotely from
the user’s phone. A huge change from traditional cars where pieces of software are used for usage-specific
functionalities.

Enabling continuous improvement of cars
Traditional products are on theirway to obsolescence as soon as they leave the factory. Software-powered products
can be updated while already in the hands of the customers. Therefore, the features and the experience improve with
time. Products are in perpetual beta mode.
Updates are about the experience but also
about the core features of the car:
• The braking system
• The energetic efficiency
• The top speed
• Self-driving capabilities
Multipleupdate motivations:
Cars can be updated to:
• push a new feature planned on the
roadmap,
• fix a malfunction: no need to do a recall,
• answer users’ requests. Indeed, numerous
users suggest new features to Tesla on its
forum or directly on Twitter.

54. Tesla integrated the maintenance of its own cars. Because they are software-powered,
Tesla cars can be monitored in real-time and checked even before issues emerge.
Most maintenance issues are minor and can be
done remotely. Teslaset up the Tesla Mobile
service, a maintenance team that repairs your
car at home.
Softwareto detect problems
Software enables the detection of car obsolescence
for parts needing replacement. Each part is
connected to the car’s central computer, which can
proactively suggest maintenance, notify a Tesla
maintenance team and guide you to the nearest

Pushing the car software further, Tesla is developing
Autopilot: an artificially intelligent system aimed at
making autonomous cars real, allowing them to fully
drive themselves.
How does it work?
See
8 panoramic cameras, 12 ultra-sound
sensors and a radar gather data about the
car’s environment. Tesla chose not to use
expensive LIDAR technology to reach
autonomy. Will this bet prove a good choice?
Understand
Tesla Vision, the software behind Autopilot,
uses artificial intelligenceto understand its
environment detecting lane lines, traffic
flows, fixed and moving objects (pedestrians,
cars, etc.), traffic lights and road signs.
Act
Once the environment is understood, the
artificial intelligencetakes a driving decision
like a regular driver would.
Autopilot: towards autonomous cars
56. To gather maps and driving data, the core assets to develop autonomous cars, Tesla has a strong advantage over its
competitors. Most of its cars are embedded with connectivity and cameras, gathering data to improve autonomous software
as drivers take their cars for a ride. Tesla benefits from network effects, as better software and data will help sell better cars,
which serve as data collectors, and so on…

companies (GAFA, Uber, Airbnb…) are
structured as platforms, a special type of
network that thrives by connecting a
multitude of individuals, corporations and
institutions to exchange goods, services,
information or money with one another.
Tesla has started its mutation into an
energy and transportation platform by
connecting all pieces together.
Theorem #6:
Networks are the new assets
59. All Tesla carsare connected and share the same decentralized operating system. Tesla has created a network of
connected and soon-to-be autonomous cars. The company has a central view of its network of cars and the data they
produce: geolocation, driving patterns, availability, charging locations, usage rate…

the automotive industry: a platform allowing Tesla owners to rent their soon-to-be autonomous cars to individuals that need a ride.
“When autonomous technology is ready you will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button
on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work or on vacation.” (Master Plan part Deux)

A new era for fleet owners: autonomous cars as an investment
A study published by the University of Virginia projected thatin a 100-square mile
radius over the city of Austin, Texas, you would need 32,000 autonomous taxis to
take a 10% market share of all rides in the area.
If this future plays out, the US alone will likely need 29M robotaxis, operating across
the country, most likely owned as fleets spelling a huge opportunity for Tesla.
On-demand car platforms like Uber and Lyft have been around for quite a while now but still haven’t made the world
transition from car ownership to car access. Autonomous on-demand cars promise to challenge the market equilibrium,
making it so cheap individuals wouldn’t need to own theircars, opening a new era for fleet owners, and a huge market
opportunity forTesla.
Most of this revenue would be converted into margin:
• Electric cars have less moving parts, and run on solar-produced energy,
reducing maintenance and operational costs.
• Autonomous cars make 90% less accidents, making insurance way cheaper.
• No driver to pay.
For 35K upfront, a car owner can generate 30K margin over 2 years:
a lucrative investment.
One ride: ~$3. -- Time/ride 30 min ~ 30 rides/day à

Even its vision to save the environment is questioned
Many researchers are questioning Tesla’s electric revolution. Each stage of an EV’s life has environmental impacts,
and while they aren’t as obvious as carbon emission, building electric vehicles can be damaging to the environment
too.
According to some researchers, building an electric
car generates more carbon emission than building a
gasoline car, mainly because of battery production.
Tesla is already recycling batteries at the Gigafactory. When
at full production scale, it will drive up recycling efficiencies
and reduce Tesla’s impact on the environment.
