21 Astonishing Facts about Tesla

Posted by : partsnmanuals / On : September 8, 2020 / In : Uncategorized
Tesla is a giant in the technological and automotive arenas, an innovator that is always striving to change the way the world perceives cars. They have taken on the difficult task of eliminating the need for fossil fuels by inventing a range of electric cars with the capacity to compete against their traditional counterparts. If you’d like to learn more, consider these 21 interesting facts about Tesla:

Company facts

  1. Tesla has the honor of being the 2nd oldest publicly listed automaker in the US. The oldest is Ford.
  2. Detroit, Michigan is the heart of America’s automotive industry. But Tesla operates out of Silicon Valley in California.
  3. Elon Musk is currently the face of the company. This has driven people to assume that he created Tesla. But the actual founders are Marc Tarpenning and Eric Eberhard.

  2. Elon Musk joined the company in 2004. He is a shareholder who owns 23% of the company’s stock.
  3. In 2004, Tesla was seeking a cash infusion. They managed to deliver a driveable Tesla, attracting all the right attention and getting the financial assistance they needed to grow. Musk eventually entered the picture, becoming the chairman of the board of directors.

  5. Elon Musk has injected $54.5 million of his own money into Tesla.
  6. Tesla had a debt of $355 million that it paid off nine years early because of the company’s massive profits.
