Elon Musk is a mission in Texas. In the U.S. state have many drawbacks to your signature to directly sell their cars through the “Tesla Store”, instead of using franchises, like other manufacturers. Musk wanted a knock on effect to try to convince the bosses to let him do business your way.
And what better as they bear all his wiles on an ad bomb? In a talk given yesterday afternoon, Musk Tesla assure you could open a new factory in three years to continue its production capacity with the arrival of new models to complement the Model S (we know that these are, in order, the Tesla Model X, an SUV and a sedan little cheaper than the Tesla Model S above).
Tesla ended the first quarter of 2013 with net profit for the first time in its history.
Musk said that Texas would be the first choice for this second factory, if the state decides to collaborate in the commercial network of the firm, giving the necessary permissions. should be remembered that Tesla’s business model is inspired by Apple: offering, wherever possible, official dealer of the brand, belonging to the company.
This will reduce profit margins to remain in pockets outside the company, and get a more direct with the client. The concept is interesting, but goes against the laws of many states in the United States, who consider unfair competition, while worry that all the money that is generated just a single bag.
I’ll see how this ends, but Musk is already thinking of a second factory says a lot about how the thing is going to Tesla.
