So you think Tesla (TSLA -Get Report)
It's a car manufacturer.
It's an innocent mistake. you won't be alone.
Tesla makes a car. you can forgive it for being just a car company.
But when Tesla lets you focus on the one hand that it's making electric cars, it's also creating a platform that provides technology, like one of the most famous companies: Apple (AAPL -Get Report).
For the long-term development of the company, the latter may be more importanttermgrowth.
Tesla has been laying the groundwork for a huge empire that could change our future, just as the iPhone and other Apple products have changed everything.
It has made progress in manufacturing and technology, will serve other industries and help companies outside the automotive industry to improve efficiency and productivity. Its soon-to-
Gigabit factories may be of great significance in home technology systems and consumer products.
To be sure, CEO Elon Musk recently promised to produce 500,000 cars by 2018, causing riots among investors.
The company's productivity is less than 1 out of 5, and there is concern that Tesla has the ability to get enough material to produce innovative lithium batteries.
These batteries will improve compared to the batteries that previously powered Tesla cars.
But it takes a long time for this companyfaceted view.
It's as good now as any one was on board.
Remember when Apple launched the iPod?
This is a stylish and compact device, the size of the best walkman in the market, which puts thousands of songs in your pocket.
This is a revolution for the music industry.
Do you know exactly what they're doing?
The process of designing the entire computer into a small wallet-sized shell.
With the emergence of Model 3, this is Tesla's goal.
They created a cost.
They are in the process of perfecting the effective base chassis so that they can place any type of housing on it.
This means a single manufacturing process for most cars.
This base chassis can then be sent to any number of different production lines to connect different bodies.
Ford may have perfected the assembly line process to reduce manufacturing costs, but Tesla has just brought it into modern times.
In addition, Tesla has been building the world.
State-of-the-art autopilot software, remote fleet upgrades and management, and full
Digital interfaces that any other car manufacturer has not yet matched.
These technologies can be easily adapted to other industries.
Car rental companies can upgrade the software or click a button to see the fleet maintenance status
A shared operator or taxi company can operate the entire fleet without the need for a human driver.
While these ideas may be a bit distant, it's not hard to see how Tesla is leading the future of these technologies, or empowering them to the natural choices of other companies.
This spring, Tesla completed the work of Gigafactory, the world's largest lithium battery factory, which will open early next year.
With some preliminary testing of the PowerWall product, it has shown that it is no longer just a part of the car game.
From a cost/revenue perspective, this diversity benefits Tesla.
But it also shows the synergy between Tesla and the Solar City, which could lead to the family revolution led by Elon Musk, generating electricity through solar City solar panels and then storing it in Tesla Powerballs, then for home systems powered by Tesla
Derivative technology.
This shows that Tesla is a technology company, not a pure technology company. automaker.
The new Gigafactory from supplier PlaysTesla will be launched in 2017 and is expected to double the world's lithium manufacturing capacityion batteries.
The current shortage of lithium could affect Tesla's plans.
However, the increase in demand may create many opportunities for Tesla battery suppliers.
These companies will be able to benefit from Tesla's manufacturing orders while addressing the adverse effects of other types of customers with additional product lines.
Among these companies: Johnson (JCI -Get Report)
Make car systems and provide facilities management services.
Particularly in the automotive industry, Johnson offers seats, interior systems and lithium batteries.
There are an estimated 11
9% year-on-year growth Johnson is a solid long-term investment
While maintaining long-term stability, use Tesla's popularity to achieve long-term growth.
Modin manufacturing (MOD -Get Report)
Offer a variety of heating and cooling technologies in a variety of cars and facilities
Relevant capabilities.
Modlas and many other vehicles use the battery cooler of Modine to cool the battery and prevent overheating.
Recently, Modine won a contract to provide a battery cooler for 17,000 military vehicles in eight years, starting in October 2016. Panasonic (PCRFY)
It is a Japanese electronics manufacturer who recently earned $1.
The investment in Tesla is 6 billion, and the investment in Tesla itself is $30 million.
Panasonic has positioned itself at the forefront of lithium-ion battery production and related technologies.
Gross profit margin is 30.
48%, it is difficult to ignore the fact that Panasonic may become a larger, more global dinosaur population in the near future.
