LONDON—Automakers spend millions of dollars on advertising, marketing and public relations. But, not Tesla. Instead, the company pours money into research and development efforts.
In fact, Tesla spends more on R&D than any other automaker. According to data compiled by StockApps.com,该公司每天生产的R＆D花费2,984美元。这是每辆车平均约1000美元的行业平均值的三倍，比每辆车的福特，通用汽车和斯特兰蒂斯的集体研发预算高。
By comparison, Ford Motor Co. spent an average of $468 on advertising in 2020 vs. $1,186 on R&D. Toyota Motor Corp. spent $454 vs. $1,063 and General Motors spent $394 vs. $878.
