For example, the United States offers tax credits (up to 7500 dollars) for consumers that buy an electric plug-in vehicle.

The support from the government to the environmental causes is expected to rise.]]> 2021-07-23 01:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658860583 t0283539 https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658861997 Tesla's business performance benefits from their own lower battery costs. For instance, it translates to affordability of the company's electric automobile products. The only thing that matters which could be a huge threat to Tesla's are their economic stability which has been an issue at the moment.]]> 2021-07-23 01:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658861997 t0283539 https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658862608 Similar to the political impact, buying behavior is and will continue to shift to sustainable energy, making Tesla suitable for eco-friendly customers (the most popular so far).

However, as Elon Must himself states, Tesla cars are not affordable enough and the company's next steps are making models more suitable for the middle and lower-income classes.]]> 2021-07-23 01:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658862608 t0283539 https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658863887 Tesla includes a high precision digitally-controlled electric braking system. It also has 12-long range ultrasonic sensors around the car. These sensors can detect things such as debris covering them which basically means that they can sense everything within 16 feet away from the vehicle.]]> 2021-07-23 01:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658863887 t0283539 https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658865187 Even though the government encourages and supports electric vehicle production, some laws interfere with some of Tesla's particular technological ideas. 

Autopilot functions are still being tested and face strict regulations. In Tesla's case, the way the vehicle changes lanes automatically is dangerous and violates certain state laws according to consumer reports.]]> 2021-07-23 01:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658865187 t0283539 https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658881305 Tesla is most known for its strong environmental impact, as it has much lower carbon emissions than other brands because of the electric nature of the vehicles.

Besides, Tesla's impact report reveals even more carbon footprint reductions at its factories (Gigafactory Shanghai, for example).]]> 2021-07-23 01:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/t0283539/team6group1/wish/1658881305
