• This new statement indicates a slight but
significant shift in the company’s business, to
address market opportunities for renewable

Corporate Vision –
Analysis &
Recommendations
Tesla, Inc.’s mission statement is satisfactory in
terms of presenting the company’s goals. It
adequately covers the kinds of products that the
company sells, the market scope of the business,
and the market position of the company.
However, it does not provide adequate
information about the general direction of Tesla’s
organizational development. Thus, a
recommendation is to improve the corporate
mission by including more details about the
company’s approaches in fulfilling its corporate
vision.
Tesla Inc.’s vision statement effectively describes
business aims. However, it does not cover current
business endeavors. For example, while the
corporate mission statement has already changed
to consider “sustainable energy,” the corporate
vision still focuses on “electric vehicles.” In this
regard, a recommendation is to adjust Tesla Inc.’s
vision statement to reflect the organization’s
increasing interest in products other than electric
vehicles.
Core Values
For many employees, the fast-paced nature of being at the forefront
of technology is the main draw. People who thrive on being
stimulated are engaged by the constant new challenges. On the other
hand, for those who really believe in global sustainability, being a
direct part of this environmental enterprise is enough. By continually
emphasizing Tesla’s mission, the team is rewarded by the knowledge
that it’s playing a part in reshaping green technology.
However, innovation sometimes comes at a price. Over 180 Glassdoor
reviews mention poor work-life balance and a further 160 talk about
long hours (“the rumours are true. You will work TREMENDOUSLY
hard”). Another recurring comment is around how strategies and
processes are constantly changing, and communication isn’t always
good – possibly a side effect of working for an innovative tech leader.

Editor's Notes

  • #6 The “to accelerate” component of the corporate mission statement establishes Tesla’s role in pushing the industry toward advanced technologies for sustainable business and products that rely on renewable energy. The corporate mission also mentions “the world’s transition,” which indicates the company’s expectation of successful dominance in the global market for electric automobiles and related products. This component directly relates with the corporate vision statement’s emphasis on the global market. Moreover, the change from “sustainable transport” to “sustainable energy” shows that Tesla, Inc.’s corporate mission statement evolves to match the current strategic objectives of the business. For example, the company used to focus on producing electric automobiles only. However, this company analysis case shows that the growing demand for renewable energy is now reflected in the corporation’s improved business scope, to cover products like batteries and other potentially profitable renewable energy solutions in the future.
  • #12 --- 1. Move fast 0:05 The ability to rapidly respond to trends and changes in the market drives competitive advantage. This helps building resilience through speedy response to current issues and challenges in the automotive industry 2. Do the Impossible 2:30 Think outside the box; act unconventional. Go beyond conventional limits of productivity and creativity in automotive design. This condition opens new doors for the company to improve its performance 3. Constantly Innovate 5:21 Innovation is at the heart of what we do. Innovation helps develop cutting-edge electric cars and related products. Tesla must innovate continuously to maintain its competitive advantage. 4. Reason from “First Principles” 6:03 Rather than making analogies, identify root factors to understand and solve problems. Use first principles to fulfill your job 5. Think Like Owners 8:52 Maintain a mindset supportive of business development. Act like owners. Take responsibility and accountability in the job and the overall performance of the business 6. We are ALL IN 8:52 A team that works to improve the business. Teamwork develops synergy and makes the corporate culture effective in maximizing benefits from employees’ talents and skills
