Winning the Top 500 World Brands in 2018, Tesla is working hard to cover a variety of categories including high-end sports cars and luxury cars. As a leader in the "new car movement", Tesla from Silicon Valley is committed to building cars with IT concepts, and it is not a traditional car manufacturer's thinking represented by Detroit. This paper undertakes a full marketing audit to evaluate Tesla’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to many other car manufacturers using PEST, SWOT and USP models. Based on the above issues, the business process of external supply chain management is proposed: information-technology outreach, upstream management of docking, overall coordination and co-existence, and analysis of node elements and evaluation schemes are feasible. Besides, the recent accidents regarding the brake caliper bolts failure, battery charging, and pilot driving are also mentioned in this review. Corresponding recommendations are also provided for the improvement of moral images in the end.
