Introduction介绍
特斯拉汽车公司是世界上第一家以用户驾驶行为和驾驶数据、软件为主体的智能汽车公司。特斯拉，第一辆纯电动跑车，是世界上第一辆由锂离子电池驱动的汽车。虽然电动汽车，但特斯拉最大功率为215000瓦的电机，最高转速可达每分钟6000转，百公里加速仅4秒，安全转速可达每小时297.7公里，最大扭矩可达每头牛400米，最大CRU从汽车性能的一系列参数来看，男性为394.3，单身。因此，在车身设计方面借鉴了莲花Elise跑车的设计理念，优雅如空的动力学特性。另外，特斯拉的外壳采用碳纤维材料，底盘采用铸铝，不仅时尚，而且保证了车身的坚固性。（张，2016）。
Tesla motors is the world's first smart car company that user's driving behavior and driving data, software as the main body of the car.

Opportunities 机会
特斯拉位于电动汽车市场的顶端，专注于注重环保的高收入和社会名流。它通过直销的方式向消费者提供产品，消费者可以在线下商店体验、体验，然后在线订购并支付定金，特斯拉安排生产，然后通过物流配送系统将汽车产品交给消费者手中。目前，特斯拉提供三种售后服务：维护服务、电池相关服务和二手车维护服务。一是维修服务（张，2016）。特斯拉的维护服务有两种方式：第一种是云服务，它允许消费者通过预先存储的服务内容诊断和排除自己的小故障。一个是服务中心，当云服务没有解决问题时，客户可以预约服务中心进行修复。在客户车辆的故障或维护期间，特斯拉向客户免费提供配置最高的S型轿车作为运输车辆，并免费将车辆送至客户门。特斯拉在世界主要市场设立了服务中心，在大中型城市设立了固定和移动服务中心。此外，特斯拉每年为客户提供40000公里的免费保修。由于特斯拉在电池管理系统方面具有技术优势，与传统汽车企业进行了合作。特斯拉正与戴姆勒合作开发电池系统，以提供电力驱动系统。为了建立长期的合作关系，特斯拉与松下签订了18650型锂离子电池采购合同，采购数量为特斯拉生产8万辆电动汽车，后期增加了电池供应。涉及的部件包括轮胎、软件系统、传动系统、传动装置、零件装配、电机等（张，2016）。
Tesla is positioned at the top end of the electric car market, with a focus on environmentally conscious high-income and socialite. It has provided consumers by means of direct selling product, consumer can be in the offline store for experience, experience and then order online and pay the deposit, tesla arrange production, and then the car through the logistics distribution system products into consumers' hands. At present, there are three types of after-sales services that tesla offers: maintenance services, battery related services and used car maintenance services. One is maintenance services(Zhang, 2016). There are two ways for tesla's maintenance services: first, the cloud service, which allows consumers to diagnose and troubleshooting their own small failures through pre-stored service content. One is the service center, where customers can make an appointment to the service center to fix it when the cloud service doesn't solve the problem. During the failure or maintenance of the customer's vehicle, tesla provides the customer with the highest configured Model S sedan for free as a transport vehicle and delivers the vehicle to the customer gate free of charge. Tesla has set up a service center in the major markets of the world, and has set up a fixed and mobile service center in large and medium-sized cities. In addition, tesla provides customers with a free warranty of 40,000 kilometers per year. Because tesla has technical advantages in battery management system, it has cooperated with traditional automobile enterprises. Tesla is working with Daimler on battery systems to provide an electric drive system. In order to establish a long-term relations of cooperation, tesla with Panasonic signed an 18650 type lithium ion electricity pool purchase contract, purchase quantity for tesla to produce 80, 000 electric car, adding the battery supply in late stage. The parts involved include tire, software system, transmission system, transmission, parts assembly, motor, etc(Zhang, 2016).
Tesla currently has 43 experience stores around the world, including 23 in North America, 15 in Europe and 3 in the Asia-pacific region. The experience store of tesla is located in the high-end shopping center. Customers can make an appointment for test drive on the Internet. After satisfactory, they can book the product online, deliver the deposit, and then re-produce the product and deliver it to the door.Tesla currently has 47 service centers around the world, including 36 in North America, 8 in Europe and 3 in the Asia-pacific region(Crane, 2014). In order to make up for the shortage of fixed service centers, tesla also established some mobile service centers to meet customers' maintenance needs.In the process of development, tesla has cooperated with many traditional automobile enterprises(Zhang, 2016). Lotus car company: tesla was first established, only Britain lotus car company to support its principle, and the body design and related design for tesla, tesla's Roadster first car body by lotus contract, signing the number of the car body to 2500 vehicles(Crane, 2014).
Most of tesla's customers are members of the tech, corporate and entertainment industries, whose actions have a greater impact on the public, and their behavior is subject to the general public's attention. Tesla's first group of consumers became seed consumers, and the word of mouth between them was an important marketing tool for tesla. Now many of the Model S buyers are tesla's investors. Tesla's consumers become a very important marketing resource for the company. Tesla invested in the solar city company, which built the supercharging station for tesla. At the supercharger station, the customer can fill half of the charge in 20 minutes, charging service is free, which improves the cost performance of tesla cars. Globally, tesla has 178 supercharging stations, including 108 North America, 57 in Europe and 13 in Asia. Supercharging stations are generally located in convenient locations with restaurants and other amenities like shopping. As consumers pay more attention to environmental protection, more and more middle class people show up to new energy vehicles. And tesla's positioning is just right for their consumer needs. And from the design in terms of style, tesla motors products as a new energy vehicle at the same time also emphasized extreme performance and avant-garde design style, it just cater to the needs of a new generation of young luxury brand consumers(Zhang, 2016). |
