Ten Unknown Facts About #Tesla
Founding
Tesla was founded in 2003 by engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, not Elon Musk. Musk joined the company as a major investor and became its public face.
Model Naming Quirk
Tesla’s car lineup follows a playful pattern: Model S, 3, X, and Y.
Elon Musk has said it was meant to spell "S3XY," with the number 3 replacing an "E."
Battery Focus
Tesla's breakthrough isn’t just in electric cars but also in battery technology. Tesla has invested heavily in creating powerful and long-lasting batteries, not only for cars but also for energy storage solutions like Powerwall.
Autopilot and Full Self-Driving
Tesla’s Autopilot is an advanced driver-assistance system, but it’s not fully autonomous. The company is working on Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, which could eventually enable true autonomous driving.
Gigafactories
Tesla operates massive manufacturing plants known as Gigafactories, located in the U.S., China, and Germany. These factories are integral to Tesla’s ability to scale production and reduce costs.

Sustainable Vision
Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. In addition to electric cars, the company is a leader in solar power and energy storage solutions.
Over-the-Air Updates
