Samenvatting:

A Lean Engineer's Guide to Building Enduring Innovation
Tesla vs. Toyota explores the two most influential automakers today—and reveals why speed and cutting-edge tech don't guarantee success on their own.

• Tesla revolutionizes with fully electric vehicles, direct-to-consumer sales, and bold autonomous features.
• Toyota dominates with its hybrid origins, mastery of the Toyota Production System (TPS), and steel-willed manufacturing excellence.

This side-by-side comparison dives deep into:

• Powertrain strategy: EV purity vs. hybrid diversity
• Automation philosophy: "Move fast" futurism vs. long-proven TPS reliability and resilience
• Culture: Engineer-led disruption vs. respect-driven continuous improvement
• Environmental plans: Renewable ecosystems vs. a pragmatic multi-path to carbon neutrality
• Market approaches: Brand evangelism vs. mass-market trust and volume precision
