Imagine to be a consultant at the time of entry:

What do you think of Tesla's entry strategy? What five or more barriers did it have to overcome?

Let's look at Tesla's profitabilityup to 2013. What do the numbers say? Was Tesla profitable? Did it have a competitive advantage? Motivate your responses.

Now,look at Tesla today,exploring sources outside of the case:

How are they doing today (2023)? Compare three key financial metrics from their 2013 and 2022 financials.

How do you expect Tesla's position to evolve by the end of 2027? What can Tesla do to prevent imitation or entry?

Would you invest in Tesla stock today if you had to hold it until 2027? Why?
