Tesla Inc 's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Competition in the automotive industry is intense and evolving. We believe the
impact of new regulatory requirements for occupant safety and vehicle emissions,
technological advances in powertrain and consumer electronics components, and
shifting customer needs and expectations are causing the industry to evolve in
the direction of electric-based vehicles. We believe the primary competitive factors
in our markets include but are not limited to:
technological innovation;
product quality and safety;
service options;
product performance;
design and styling;
brand perception;
product price; and
manufacturing efficiency.
We believe that our vehicles compete in the market both based on their traditional
segment classification as well as based on their propulsion technology. Within
the electric-based vehicle segment, there are three primary means of powertrain
electrification which will differentiate various competitors in this market:
Electric Vehicles are vehicles powered completely by a single on-board energy
storage system (battery pack or fuel cell) which is refueled directly from an
electricity source. Both the Tesla Roadster and Model S are examples of electric
vehicles.
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles are vehicles powered by both a battery pack with an
electric motor and an internal combustion engine which can be refueled both
with traditional petroleum fuels for the engine and electricity for the battery
pack. The internal combustion engine can either work in parallel with the electric
motor to power the wheels, such as in a parallel plug-in hybrid vehicle, or
be used only to recharge the battery, such as in a series plug-in hybrid vehicle
like the Chevrolet Volt.
Hybrid Electric Vehicles are vehicles powered by both a battery pack with an
electric motor and an internal combustion engine but which can only be refueled
with traditional petroleum fuels as the battery pack is charged via regenerative
braking, such as used in a hybrid electric vehicle like the Toyota Prius.
The worldwide automotive market, particularly for alternative fuel vehicles,
is highly competitive today and we expect it will become even more so in the
future. Prior to the introduction of the Nissan Leaf in December 2010, no mass
produced performance highway-capable electric vehicles were being sold in the
United States. In Japan, Mitsubishi has been selling its electric iMiEV since
April 2010. We expect additional competitors to enter the alternate fuel vehicle
market within the next several years, and as they do so, we expect that we will
experience significant competition. In addition, we currently face strong competition
from existing automobile manufacturers in the extremely competitive premium
sedan market, including Audi, BMW, Lexus and Mercedes.
Many established and new automobile manufacturers have entered or have announced
plans to enter the alternative fuel vehicle market. In addition to the Nissan
Leaf, Ford has introduced the fully electric Ford Focus, Renault has introduced
the fully electric Renault Fluence, and Fiat has introduced the Fiat 500e, among
others. Moreover BMW, Daimler, Lexus, Audi, Fiat, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo
are also developing electric vehicles. For example, BMW plans to introduce its
i3 city car and i8 sports car and Volkswagen plans to introduce its fully electric
e-Golf. Several new start-ups have also announced plans to enter the market
for performance electric vehicles, although none of these have yet come to market.
Finally, electric vehicles have already been brought to market in China and
other foreign countries and we expect a number of those manufacturers to enter
the United States market as well.
In addition, several manufacturers, including General Motors, Toyota, Ford,
and Honda, are each selling hybrid vehicles, and certain of these manufacturers
have announced plug-in versions of their hybrid vehicles. For example, in December
2010, General Motors introduced the Chevrolet Volt, which is a plug-in hybrid
vehicle that operates purely on electric power for a limited number of miles,
at which time an internal combustion engine engages to recharge the battery.
Most of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical, manufacturing, marketing and other resources than we do and may be
able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing,
distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. Virtually all of
our competitors have more extensive customer bases and broader customer and
industry relationships than we do. In addition, almost all of these companies
have longer operating histories and greater name recognition than we do. Our
competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to new technologies
and may be able to design, develop, market and sell their products more effectively.
We believe our exclusive focus on electric vehicles and electric vehicle components,
as well as our history of vehicle development and production, are the basis
on which we can compete in the global automotive market in spite of the challenges
posed by our competition; however, we have a limited history of operations.
