- Abstract
Tesla is an American electric car and energy company that makes and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. We analyze how can Tesla buy and sell the machines in the most profitable way. Based on photovoltaic (PV) and net present value (NPV) rules, the infinite time optimal machine life model is established to analyze the investment projects of Tesla. Next, we calculate the optimal machine life effectively by using HJB equation. The PV and NPV rules and HJB equation are introduced in Related theoretical concepts included definitions, formulas, and applicable situations. We get the conclusion that the theoretical optimal machine exists which is using one machine only a year. But that is subject to market demand and supply. If we take all the factors into account, the calculation becomes complicated. So we just use the ideal case, and explain the meaning of optimal machine life for the company and related calculations in it.
