Tesla

Tesla, Inc. was founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California, with the goal of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Elon Musk joined in 2004 as chairman and later became CEO in 2008, leading Tesla to become a dominant force in electric vehicles (EVs) and clean energy solutions.

Tesla designs, manufactures, and sells battery electric vehicles, energy storage systems from home to grid scale, solar panels, and solar roof tiles. Their product line includes the Roadster (first production EV sports car), Model S (luxury sedan), Model X (SUV), Model 3 (mass-market sedan), Model Y (crossover SUV), Tesla Semi (electric truck), and Cybertruck (electric pickup). Tesla continuously updates its vehicles with new hardware and software features, emphasizing direct sales through company-owned stores and online platforms.

The company has expanded globally with Gigafactories in Shanghai, Berlin, Texas, and plans for Mexico, enabling large-scale production and supply chain integration. Tesla also operates a vast Supercharger network with over 7,000 stations worldwide to support EV adoption. The company went public in 2010 and has since become one of the most valuable automakers globally, with revenues exceeding $78 billion in 2023 and delivering 1.8 million vehicles that year

Tesla Bot (Optimus): A humanoid robot project announced to leverage Tesla’s AI and manufacturing expertise, aimed at automating repetitive and dangerous tasks in factories and homes.
