Conclusion "When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars, people said, 'Nah, what's wrong with a horse?' That was a huge bet he made, and it worked." -Elon Musk “If something is important enough you should try even if the probable outcome is failure” -Elon Musk Recommendations: • Tesla should consider opening dealerships as their competition does to become more available to more traditional consumers. Custom-building online and viewing through a “sales mall” is a smart step in the technological world, but if they wish to become a viable option to the more traditional car-buying consumer, opening a dealership would be a good option to consider. • While looking to sell Tesla cars outside of the United States, they should consider exporting their vehicles. Although the cost of shipment would be high, they would be able to fulfill the needs of South Africa without the start up cost of manufacturing plants. Based off the popularity they could explore different options at that point.
