Tesla Motors<\/h2>\n

Tesla Motors is a revolutionary car company that produces electric-powered vehicles for consumers. Founded in 2003, the company has become well known in the industry for its innovations, such as its popular cars, the Model S and Model X. Despite becoming a household name, many people are unaware of the history of Tesla Motors and its founder, Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

Tesla Motors was first incorporated in 2003 when a group of engineers, including Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, joined forces. The initial investment was backed by Elon Musk, who not only provided the resources to get the company off the ground but also contributed his knowledge and engineering skills. While the original plan was to produce electric-powered sports cars, Elon Musk decided to focus the company on creating electric-powered family cars.<\/p>\n

By 2006 Tesla Motors had launched their first electric-powered sports car, the Tesla Roadster, which eventually became the company’s flagship vehicle. Elon Musk later took over as CEO of the company and steered the company in a new direction. Musk had the vision to create electric-powered vehicles for mass production, as opposed to only focusing on producing low-volume sports cars. By 2008 the Tesla Roadster had become a cult-like hit amongst car enthusiasts and the media.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk did not actually create Tesla Motors, and the initial vision of the company was not his either. However, Musk has undoubtedly had a huge influence on the company and its success. He took the company in a new direction, becoming its face and driving the company forward with his ideas. He is credited with leading the company to its current level of success, by securing investments to scale up the production of the cars, developing Tesla’s ‘Autopilot’ system and focusing the company on becoming a leader in the industry.<\/p>\n
