1. Introduction
Tesla Motors Inc. is one of the automobile industry, with a specialization in the electric vehicle market, it manufactures vehicle as well as electric powertrain components. It is a growing American company founded in 2003, and released the first car in 2006 with projected growth in the future. The CEO, Elon Musk (founder of PayPal), is a necessary role to Tesla that aims at offering electric cars at affordable price to the public. Regarding the strategy of the company, as pointed out by Elton Musk in 2006, the starting point performs from fancy sports car, but the long term goal is to provide of all kinds, including low coast family cars. Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the transition from gas-powered vehicles to sustainable

And based on our report, how framing and discourse can shape the climate friendly future and inspire climate leaders in other fields and it can be applied to other fields.
2. Description of the actors in greater depth
Climate change is a new reality. The increasing GHG emissions caused by human behavior are changing our climate and, in return, affecting every aspect of our society. In this paper, 5 of us will analyze the case study of Tesla Motors, and beforehand, precise knowledge of the threat leads to victory, hence we will look the actors through the stakeholders. This part will be followed to analyze the different actor dimensions of Tesla Motors.
For the Tesla Motors, Inc. per se, their strengths are the innovation products and services that bring them to a brand new territory, their patents plus marketing and technical expertise develop the electric vehicles market and hence indirectly affect governments to enact new policy and promote clean energy. However, their strengths can become their weaknesses, more and more competitors arise, the discoveries in new energy could be rapidly changes, or the interruptions of the government.

It is quite remarkable to read this quote especially exactly two decades from when David Suzuki’s novel The Sacred Balance was published. That over two decades there has not been any significant change in the way majority of people acknowledge that one of the major issue humans face is global warming. Even though relatively recently several countries did join the Paris climate agreement to confront climate change but it still does not help there is still a large amount of countries that will not contribute in reducing the effects of climate change. It does feel hopeless at times trying to get people to at least acknowledge climate change and there is not be a chance to change the path of our future right now because it would be too late. Too

First of all, let’s talk about the environment. I’m sure you all know about greenhouse gases and global warming, so I won’t talk much about that, but you may not know that road vehicles produce 10% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. This does include vehicles other than cars like trucks, but Tesla just came out with an electric truck which is faster and can carry more weight than any petrol/diesel truck. Greenhouses gases carbon-dioxide and methane have hit their highest levels in the past 420,000 years, and the extent of arctic sea ice has declined about 10% in the last 30 years.
It is the only automaker exclusively that manufacturers electric cars on a significant scale. However, General Motors is highly concentrating on launching battery powered Chevrolet Bolt in the market and Ford Motors have planned to invest $4.5 billion by 2020 in electric vehicles (Team, 2016). The mentioned competitors have moved to investing more in electric cars in order to focus on zero emission and clean vehicles but still they are behind Tesla Motors which provide an advantage to further increase the market share in

This is all because of global warming, and if we start switching to electric cars, we could make a big difference and maybe, just maybe the effects of global warming will decrease.
