Ø Expensive 

Ø Decreasing battery and renewable force expenses.

      Their social attributes-

Ø Basically not for the poor people, just for the lead class people on the society.

Ø Improving the wealth distribution development market.

     Their environmental values-

Ø Environment relative to their perspective.

Ø Raising standard on waste disposal.

     Their ethical values-

Ø Tesla’s concept where electric cars are the key to alleviating climate change. However, the Washington Post has found that the materials of lithium-ion-batteries for electric cars can cause environmental problems such as air pollution. Furthermore, the production line is linked to child labor in Congo.

iv. As Tesla’s vision is something good and to create something better and new for the environment. But still, they are some gaps and obstacles in their operations. Because of their intention, it makes me more interested in this company more than any other companies. Critical analysis of their some factors such as mining lithium ion and those all explosive things, they need to be environment as well as the social relative.

We often miss chances to share our car travel or use buses, and our increasingly heavy human bodies lack the healthy exercise that we could get from walking or cycling, instead of driving, especially on shorter journeys. Cars may seem convenient by habit, but are expensive, hazardous, noisy and polluting, too. Why do we use them for short trips in town?

As NZ approaches the limits of acceptable hydro-power generation from big river dams and the Maui gas-field supply runs low, we are turning to clean geothermal, wind-power, tidal or wave power, and to photo-voltaics (PV) and solar water heating. But we still use other fossil fuel energy sources that release carbon to the atmosphere (such as coal at Huntly Power Station and coal in Fonterra milk powder factories), contributing to global warming. Energy efficiency is becoming a crucial public issue in NZ, so the recent 'warm Up NZ' programme to subsidise house insulation for  healthier homes, was one welcome response, also bringing health benefits. Interest is growing in electric vehicles too, although the energy involved in making them is still 50% of the total energy required in the vehicle's lifetime, whatever its 'fuel' type.

In homes, we burn coal, damp wood and fuel oil, rather inefficiently, to heat our poorly-insulated living spaces, whilst creating unhealthy smog for some areas in the winter. Older houses are damp and cold, often mouldy - hazardous for the elderly and asthmatics.

We waste renewable hydro-electricity by not wrapping hot water tanks and not insulating the ceilings of heated rooms. We waste power by using inefficient filament light-bulbs instead of compact fluorescents or LEDs and by leaving equipment such as TVs and microwave cookers waiting on 'stand-by' overnight.

With a management shakeup last year that led to the ouster of then-CEO Mark Fields and his replacement with a more visionary personality in Jim Hackett, Ford has clearly been looking to emulate Tesla’s Wall-Street-attractive story.

But Ford also makes the bestselling vehicle in the US, the F-150 pickup truck. This thing can be mass-produced in absolutely staggering volumes and has been selling nearly a million units annually. And although it isn’t priced anywhere near what Tesla charges from its Model S and Model X luxury vehicles, the F-150 throws off huge profit margins.

The F-150 can witness sales dips, but for the most part, it’s nearly an invulnerable product. Ford can always count on it, like an insurance policy.

Tesla, by contrast, has probably topped out in its luxury segment and now has to pull off a potentially impossible stunt: sell hundreds of thousands of electric sedans to a market that has shown limited interest in EVs (they’re only 1% of the global market) and that … doesn’t want sedans.

The four-door is dying. FCA has given up on them in the US, and Ford is heading in that direction. GM will likely make the shift in the next year. Ferrari doesn’t sell them.

Tesla has promised to bring a crossover SUV, the Model Y, to market in the next few years, but at the moment it has no place to build the vehicle. That leaves Tesla trying to make the Model 3 into its F-150. And that’s just not going to happen.
