Did you know about Tesla?

Tesla Motor was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in the summer of 2003, and Musk entered the business a year later, in 2004.

Tesla Roadster was the first model of the US company. This car had so many problems that eventually Elon Musk himself said the Roadster was a terrible car. From this electric sports car narrow 2500 pieces were manufactured between 2008 and 2012.

However, in 2020, the offspring will arrive, which is likely to eliminate the previous Roadster childhood diseases. The promised top speed of the car is 400 km / h and its range is supposed to exceed 1,000 kilometers. It accelerates to 100 km / h in 1.9 seconds. Perhaps the truth of the promises will come to light once. The first thousand cars can be booked in the Founders Series. The price is a quarter of a million dollars, and the whole amount must be prepaid on the table. The basic model can be pre-booked with an advance of $ 50,000.

Like smartphones, software updates for all Tesla models come from the Internet, which is notified by the car's multimedia system to the user.

The air cleaning system in Teslas is called "Bioweapon Defense Mode" because the company claims that their system can filter three hundred times more bacteria, five hundred times more allergens, seven hundred times more smog and eight hundred times more viruses than conventional cars pollen filter.

Some fun features have also been added to the board entertainment unit, such as a sound simulation sound. This allows the driver to pick up his passengers, because if you turn on the function, one of the buttons on the steering wheel can activate the sound effect, for example, when someone points to the mother seat.

By 2020, only Tesla is supposed to produce more lithium-ion batteries than worldwide battery factories in the early 2010s. Tesla Motors has established a division called Tesla Energy Group to develop and manufacture energy storage units for Tesla models, and to sell this technology to partners such as Daimler (Mercedes) or Toyota.

Tesla's sales were $ 3.4 billion in 2018, translating to $ 982 billion, and repaying a $ 900 million debt in March this year. The loss of the company, which was $ 702 million in the first quarter of this year, can be seen as a demonstration.

In 2014, Tesla made all its patents available for use by anyone. The main goal of this step was to allow competitors to integrate the solutions they developed into their products as much as possible so that Tesla solutions become dominant on the market.

In February 2017, the company left the name "Motors". After the change, the company name was officially “Tesla Inc”.
