Toyota’s investment with IPO secured by Tesla Motors

Thanks to a blockbuster IPO, Tesla Motors secured additional financing and investment from Toyota Motors. The Toyota Motors/Tesla Motors partnership is just one of the many partnerships Tesla motors has developed in a quest for a mass-market, all-electric car. Is Tesla Motors going to keep floating with this excitement of an investment?

All about Tesla Motors

Tesla Motors is a business that was founded in 2003 and has the goal of creating all-electric cars. There are two Tesla Motors electric automobiles on the market right now — both more than $100,000. The goal of Tesla is to, eventually; bring an all-electric sedan to the market for less than $50,000.

The investment Toyota has in Tesla Motors

The investment that Toyota and Tesla announced a few months ago was conditional upon Tesla completing an original public offering. Now that the TSLA IPO is completed, Toyota motors will complete its investment. Tesla motors will purchase the now-closed NUMMI plant. Toyota will help advise Tesla on bringing a mass-produced vehicle to the market.

The Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S should be an all-electric sedan car. The 300-mile range of the Tesla roadsters is the target range for the sedan. Tesla wants to sell the Model S for under $50,000, which is considered the “midrange” price point for vehicles. Government tax credits shared with fuel cost savings are likely to add up to make this car more affordable for most buyers. The model S should be on the market by 2012.

Tesla receives some other investments

Tesla Motors has received other investments. Daimler-Chrysler as well as the U.S. Government has given Tesla Motors some of their loans to help bring the Model S to market. The investments are coming even with the operating losses every year. The hope is that with the IPO investment money, Toyota, the U.S. Government, and the Daimler-Chrysler investment, Tesla might become profitable within the next three years.
