Here are some of the more interesting Tesla statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, I will be adding to/updating this list fairly regularly, so be sure to check back often.

There have been quite a few digital innovations over the past decade that have either changed the automobile industry or stand to change it significantly in the coming years. A notable change agent during this time has been Tesla Motors, one of the newest car-makers.

While Tesla cars are most notable because they run on electricity, they also have a number of other innovative features included in their models. It makes sense that they would be leading the digital disruption of the auto industry since their founder isn’t a car industry veteran, but one of the founders of PayPal.

I recently sat down to try to quantify how much of a dent Tesla has made in the auto industry in a little over a decade. Here we go..
