Hey Class and Professor I hope you all will be doing well. By looking at the core competencies of Tesla I think that they are able to gain a competitive advantage and maintain it in the car industry. When it comes to emphasis, Tesla isn't looking for a large market; rather, it's aiming for a small segment of the global market, where only a few people can afford it, despite the fact that it's an environmentally beneficial, electric vehicle. Because not everyone can afford Tesla, only a select few people are chosen and given the most efficient and effective vehicle possible, which is one-of-a-kind in every manner.
