Tesla is considered the second most innovative company in the world according to Forbes (2017). Its introduction to the market in 2006 was a radical innovation. Redefining what an electric car could be, Tesla developed a high-performance product with proprietary technology which had never been seen (Baer, 2014). As Tesla continues to expand, it is building on its established knowledge of electric vehicles and utilizing incremental innovation (Dyer, Godfrey, Jensen & Bryce, 2016).

Its innovative strategy is a high-end/top-down disruptive innovation.Beginning in the high-end market and appealing to the least-price sensitive buyers, Tesla launched its business. With the Tesla Model 3 to be released in 2018 at a price-point of approximately $35,000 (Boudette, 2017), Tesla’s innovation is becoming available to a larger mainstream market.

Tesla falls between the introduction and growth stages.Although the company is gaining traction and increased market acceptance, Tesla is still introducing vehicles into the marketplace (Model 3 and Model Y).Given that the company will be trying to get early adopters to try out these new models (Dyer et al., 2016), some aspects of the Tesla business still fall within the introduction stage of the life cycle.

Innovation is necessary for Tesla.Given the overwhelming popularity of its products, and the high expectations of shareholders and consumers, Tesla must continue to implement change initiatives as needed.As Mukerjee notes, these innovations “could involve the development of new capabilities, adoption of new business models, and changing the existing routines of the firm” (2016, p. 32).As the popularity and development of electric cars grows, Tesla will need to remain ahead of the competition to maintain its current advantage.
