Tesla Motors was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers in Silicon Valley. With Tesla Motors they wanted to prove that electric cars could be even better than standard gasoline-powered cars. With instant torque, incredible power, and zero emissions.
The first real production car from Tesla was the Tesla Roadster this was launched in 2008. Accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.7 seconds and was able to ride
245 miles (395km) per charge of its lithium ion battery, the Roadster set a new standard for electric cars. Tesla sold more than 2,400 Roadsters, in more than 30 countries
In 2012, Tesla launched Model S, the world’s first premium electric sedan.
Model S has redefined the very concept of a four-door car. With room for seven passengers and more than 64 cubic feet of storage, Model S provides the comfort and utility of a family sedan while achieving the acceleration of a sports car.
In late 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled two dual motor all-wheel drive configurations of Model S. The 85D features a high efficiency motor at the front and rear, achieving a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.2 seconds the fastest four-door production car ever made.
Tesla’s Supercharger network provides high speed charging, replenishing half a charge in as little as 20 minutes.
Tesla is not just an automaker, but also a technology and design company with a focus on energy innovation.
