Tesla Motors $$ Case Analysis Questions $(200$ points$)$

Tesla has indeed been doing pretty well lately. They sold approximately $930,000$ cars in $(2021),1,310,000$ in $(2022)$ and $1\mathrm{.}8$ Million cars in $(2023),$ and forecast to exceed that number with a farily wide margin this year. Their main seller is the cheaper, high$-$volume Model $3$ and their new cross$-$over $($Model Y$)$ although they still sell quite a few of their bigger and more expensive Model S sedans and Model X SUVs. The new Cybertruck is now available and will add significant volume in $2024$ and beyond.

$1.$ What drives this success from an internal perspective $$ identify what you think is the most significant capability Tesla possesses and determine whether it passes the $4$ requirements $($rare$,$ valuable etc.$),$ suggesting that it is a core competency. Assess whether this means Tesla has a sustainable competitive advantage or not.

$2.$ Also identify one capability that Tesla has a competitive disadvantage in and explain why it$$s a competitive disadvantage $($e$.$g$.,$ how their competitors generally don$$t have the same disadvantage and how it detracts value from the Tesla enterprise$).$
