1. I perceive the business model of Tesla as offering a sustaining innovation and it is not at all disruptive. From the business model and products, it has been understood that Tesla usually has a very interesting and unique approach for launching their vehicles in the industry. Tesla is not focused on making any kind of inexpensive car within a suitable affordable range. Tesla can be considered as a widely innovative firm and the innovation of the company will help to sustain in the industry.
