They base most of their revenue from cars and batteries but are starting to really enter a new bracket as an environmentalist company as well. They created plan which involved the creation of an expensive low volume car, lower priced medium volume car, and used that money to then develop an affordable high volume car for the mass market while also working to provide solar power to the public. Many companies are pushing for a change but Tesla is the

There is a strong belief in this company from the public, their goal, and the design and safety features of their products. Additionally, they are beating out their competitors which include the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, Ford Fusion Energy, BMW i3, which are all hybrids and not fully electric. People tend to look to Tesla over others because of the free supercharging network they provide. Tesla without any help has been able to create a nationwide charging network in the US and other countries that provide free and fast charging.

With their technology they were able to develop roof shingles that are photovoltaic, and in hence took them to create what they call the solar roof. It looks like any regular roof, with cost comparable to that of a new roof. They plan to sell it to the public and pair it with their powerwall which stores energy. Sunlight energy during the day battery stored energy for the night. Tesla is trying to change the way we live without changing our lifestyle. The island of Samoa, Ta’ū, is completely powered by the sun because of Tesla. Before they had generators powering the island that ran off fuel. One generator alone used 300 gallons a day and with multiple generators powering the island, the carbon output wasn’t good. With a solar farm of 5,300+ panels and 60 power walls the island is completely green, can be powered for 3 days continuously without sun and only takes 7 hours of sunlight to recharge everything while still providing the island
