Tank Tiger I ini sudah dicap dengan "tank berdesain luar biasa",{{sfn|Bishop|2002|p=9}} namun karena proses produksi yang tergesa-gesa dengan metode penekanan buruh dan dengan bahan bijih besi yang sulit untuk di dapatkan hanya ada sekitar 1,347 yang berhasil dibuat antara Agustus 1942 dan Agustus 1944. Tank Tiger sangat rentan terhadap kerusakan roda karena membeku saat musim dingin rusia yang sangat ganas terkenal saat [[Perang Napoleon|Invasi Napoleon ke Russia]]. Produksi tank ini kemudian di hentikan guna menghemat bahan baku dan membuat verrsi ke-2 yang lebih "kompeten" untuk berjuang membela negara di timur. Namanya adalah Tank [[Tiger II]].
While the Tiger I has been called an outstanding design,{{sfn|Bishop|2002|p=9}} it was [[Overengineering|over-engineered]],{{sfn|Tucker-Jones|2012|p=7}} using expensive materials and labour-intensive production methods. Only 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. The Tiger was prone to certain types of track failures and breakdowns, and limited in range by its high fuel consumption. It was expensive to maintain, but generally mechanically reliable.{{citation needed|date=October 2015|reason=There are sources and indications that disagree with this statement.}} It was also difficult to transport, and vulnerable to immobilization when mud, ice and snow froze between its overlapping and interleaved ''Schachtellaufwerk''-pattern road wheels in both [[rasputitsa]] and succeeding [[Russian winter|winter weather conditions]], often jamming them solid. In 1944, production was phased out in favour of the [[Tiger II]].
Satu-satu nya Tiger I yang masih ada dan bisa dipergunakan berada di salah satu museum di salah satu kota di [[Britania Raya]]. Tiger I yang di inggris ini disebut dengan nama julukan Tiger 13.
The tank was given its nickname "Tiger" by [[Ferdinand Porsche]], and the [[Roman numeral]] was added after the later Tiger II entered production. The initial official German designation was ''Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausführung H'' (‘‘''[[Panzer]] VI version H''’’, abbreviated ''PzKpfw VI Ausf. H''), with the H being for the designer/manufacturer, [[Henschel & Sohn|Henschel]]. It was classed with ordnance inventory designation ''[[Sonderkraftfahrzeug|SdKfz]] 182''. The tank was later redesignated as ''PzKpfw VI Ausf. E'' in March 1943, with ordnance inventory designation ''SdKfz 181''.
Today, only a handful of Tigers survive in museums and exhibitions worldwide. The [[Bovington Tank Museum]]'s [[Tiger 131]] is currently the only one restored to running order.
