Abstract
As one of the most ambitious and innovative companies in the automobile manufacturing industry across the world, Tesla visions itself with the mission to change and redefine the industry landscape of future mobility empowered by innovation and new transportation technologies. This research is conducted to examine how Tesla manages to surge against the odds of all the adversity manifested in the new normal through the lens of financial analysis of Tesla’s annual reports. In light of the key concepts and financial performance and accounting data presented in the company report, the financial situation and growth of Tesla, specifically regarding its strengths and weaknesses, are analyzed. Besides, possible suggestions on risk control and financial viability, in the long run, are provided. Furthermore, the financial performance of Tesla analyzed from the key metrics are linked to the macroeconomic environment presented in the new normal, so as to consider the impacts on the company’s revenues and the validity of the company’s stock price performance for investment selection.
