Abstract

Tesla, as a globally competitive E-auto manufacturer and enterprise, has established its businesses all over the globe. This study would be disclosing problems and issues now faced by Tesla’s products, and products of the entire market of electric cars: slow charging speed, emerging competitors, and low performance of batteries under cold environments. This area of the study is important due to the fact that the sector of electric automobiles is a novel and promising market compared with traditional car manufacturing, this study could enlighten other electric car producers to adjust their products. The study uses researching and analyzing devices such as 4P, Cubic smoothing index, and SMLR. Three problems concluded by this study could be addressed via, first the slow charging speed: the method of circulating high-temperature gas heating. Secondly, to outcompete other brands, Tesla should make their product more price-appealing, and more affordable to more consumers. Thirdly, in order to operate ideally under cold environments, the internal heating method could be used. Nonetheless, due to limitations ground tests could not be done on actual Tesla Models, therefore more research should be done in the future to find out the best way to the situation.
