The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk has announced that Tesla is planning to launch about 700 satellites into the space to used for providing internet connectivity across the planet. Elon Musk was known for being bold and innovative, this idea of shooting satellites does not seem to be impossible despite the fact that huge amount of cost is needed. This has became the main obstacle of this project, in order to process, Tesla has to produce satellites which have relatively low cost.

Furthermore, if Musk wants this project to be resounded, he also needs to consider about the probability of all 700 satellites successfully shot into the space. Manufacturing costs have to be low due to the large amount and lack of funding. Musk could also consider about raising Tesla Motor’s sale revenue to gain more profit or funding. I have always found Tesla Motor having lesser commercial advertisement than other competitors. It would catch people’s attention if Tesla is willing to promote its brand a little more by advertisement and let others know about what Tesla is about without doing massive research. This might help with Tesla’s revenue.
