Ten Unknown Facts About #Tesla

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.

SpaceX Connection

Tesla and SpaceX, both run by Elon Musk, share more than just a CEO. The companies collaborate on technology, and SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket even launched a Tesla Roadster into space as part of a 2018 test flight.

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

Tesla was the first car manufacturer to allow over-the-air software updates, letting owners download new features and improvements to their cars without visiting a dealership.

AI and Robots

Tesla’s AI Day event introduced Tesla Bot, a humanoid robot designed to handle dangerous or repetitive tasks, showcasing Musk’s vision for AI and robotics beyond automobiles.

Environmental Impact

Tesla has reduced the overall carbon footprint of it.
