Tesla Facts
Here is pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about Tesla.
Tesla, Inc. is an American electric vehicle and clean energy company. It was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, with Elon Musk joining as an investor and chairman shortly after. The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, USA.
Tesla’s primary focus is on the production of electric vehicles (EVs). The company has gained significant recognition for its high-performance electric cars, innovative technology, and commitment to sustainable transportation. Tesla’s vehicle lineup includes models like the Tesla Model S (luxury sedan), Model 3 (mid-size sedan), Model X (SUV), and Model Y (compact SUV). These vehicles are known for their impressive range, acceleration, and advanced features.
Tesla differentiates itself by its electric powertrain technology, which eliminates the need for gasoline and reduces emissions associated with traditional combustion engines. The company has invested heavily in battery technology and operates its own battery Gigafactories to produce high-capacity lithium-ion batteries for its vehicles.
In addition to electric vehicles, Tesla is involved in other clean energy initiatives. The company produces and sells energy storage products, including the Tesla Powerwall and Powerpack, which are designed to store energy from renewable sources like solar power and provide backup power for homes and businesses. Tesla is also active in solar energy with its solar panel and solar roof products.
Tesla has a strong focus on autonomous driving technology and has developed its own suite of advanced driver-assistance systems called Autopilot. These features enable Tesla vehicles to navigate, change lanes, and park with limited driver input, although drivers are still required to remain attentive and engaged.
The company operates globally, with manufacturing facilities and sales operations in multiple countries. Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, and it has played a significant role in popularizing and advancing electric vehicles.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these Tesla statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
