Tesla focusing in on their money makers

Now that Tesla has finally dropped the dream initially of taking the automotive world by storm after the economy took a nosedive, its CEO has publicly come forth and said that it is not giving up the dream quite yet--by refocusing its energies on its two big products: the Roadster and its powertrains.

Elon Musk, Chairman of the Board, Product Architect and CEO of Tesla Motors,blogged today about a change in focus at the electric car company.

"At Tesla, we have decided that the wise course of action is to focus on our two revenue producing business lines - the Roadster and powertrain sales to other car companies. In the Roadster, Tesla has a unique product with a large order book that continues to grow, despite softness in the automobile sector. Our powertrain business is profitable today and is also growing rapidly," Musk said.

This indeed is a no brainer but also a great, intelligent move to make it publicly known. The Roadster is becoming an automotive household name and is something that consumers are really throwing themselves at; Since that is their bread and butter, Tesla will continue to increase production while trying to trim expenses. It just makes perfect sense to continue to push this hit even biggest. Likewise, the Tesla power train is unique and desired by the rapidly growing green arm of the automotive industry.

While this isn't earth-shattering, it is nice to see a company really thinking ahead of the curve.
