PROBLEM 1 – PRODUCTION CAPACITY
KEYISSUE
PROBLEM ANALYSIS
• Single assembly line causes
significant delays and extremely
long wait times for consumers
• Reliance on few suppliers can
threaten production
• Unable to generate positive cash
flow for the past 5 years
Tesla’s vehicle
production
capacity is low
and depends on
one manufacturing
plant located in
Fremont, CA

PROBLEM 1 – RECOMMENDATION
JOINT
VENTURE
STRATEGIC
ALLIANCE
COOPERATIVE
STRATEGY
15
JOINT VENTURE WITH BOEING
• Boeing is the largest aerospace company and leading
manufacturer of airplane parts and aircrafts
• Long tradition of aerospace leadership and innovation
• Share similar values of innovation, environmental protection,
and inclusive corporate culture – groundwork for strong
synergistic strategic alliance
16
ADVANTAGES FOR TESLA
• Leverage Boeing’s suppliers, distribution network, production facilities
and TQM systems
• Maintain centralization in California, but can move production to other
areas of the country
• Can use Boeing’s large capital structure to purchase a production
facility and the necessary equipment to start producing vehicles outside
of California
Boeing Facility
Everett, WA
Tesla Factory
Fremont, CA
New JV Facility
Detroit, MI
18
BOEING PARTNERSHIP
• Would allow Tesla to pursue their differentiation strategy
• Partnering with a company in a related industry also creates
diversification advantage and increases Tesla’s market share
• Tesla’s overall returns would increase as they would be able to better
meet customer demand
19
PROBLEM 2 – CORPORATE LEADERSHIP
KEYISSUE
PROBLEM ANALYSIS
• Overdependence on CEO Elon
Musk for strategic direction
• Role duality within corporate
structure hindering effective
decision-making
• Need for leadership balance
between vision and management
• CFO Deepak Ahuja’s retirement
Tesla’s
performance has
been slow to
improve due to
the current
corporate
leadership
approach

• Helped Air Canada through bankruptcy and returned it to profitability in 2014
with a 4% profit margin

corporate
leadership issues
Strategic
recommendations
include a new JV and
