Currently, Tesla faces manufacturing delays and the slow launching of new products. The other weakness of the company is its inability to meet the demands of the customers such that, due to the highly complicated procedures in the production of the cars, the company faces an unbalanced supply and demand and hence unable to meet its production requirements (Matthews et al., 2021). The other weakness seen in the company is the lack of high volume production, given that the company is the pioneer in actual energy-saving cars.

The company should take the customers’ concerns about the safety of the vehicles seriously and rectify the issues as this may be costly to the company’s future growth, given that safety is an essential element for any car manufacturer. Also, the company needs a robust risk management procedure which will be helpful for the business to reduce its management issues and faults. The organization also needs to focus on recruiting a talented workforce with enough skills and knowledge in manufacturing safe cars.
