Tesla Motors is a company founded by Elon Musk in 2003. The company's main auto business is located in the Silicon Valley area of California. Tesla Motors has shops, workshops and factories around the world.

The company primarily seeks to revolutionize the automotive industry in the future by providing an environmentally friendly alternative available to the majority of the public. Tesla Motors has influenced other manufacturers to start making environmentally friendly vehicles to reduce the world's pollution footprint and prevent further spread by destroying the planet.
Beginnings:
Tesla Motors was born from a project involving Elon Musk, JB Straubel and Martin Eberhard. Musk financed the creation of the company and between the three were distributed high positions of the company.
In the following years, Tesla Motors struggled with establishing an economic balance with which to make profits to expand, a situation that was difficult because the main investor was Musk and the rest sold parts of the company to survive. The company was even on the verge of bankruptcy but thanks to a U.S. project that sought to finance technology companies that promised to advance the country, was saved from closure.
From 2010 onwards, the company began to obtain greater income from the sale of shares and its different models of cars that were put on the market.
Characteristics of the cars:
Tesla Motors cars are fully electric and have 4 main qualities: battery pack, engine, power electronics and software that controls and maintains the vehicle's main functions such as power and safety functions. They also have a self-driving capability that ensures that it has 2 times better handling than that of a person.
Sale:
The company has a sales strategy to the public where mainly based on telephone contact, through the Internet and advertising. Subsequently, stores and workshops were located in parts of the world, where trust and customer service are guaranteed that other companies do not have.

Patents:
Tesla Motors created patents for one-time use, but in 2014 I release the patents to be open source and the other companies use them to create green vehicles that change the world in a good way.
Manufacturing:
Tesla Motors manufactures almost all of its parts, with the exception of some that other partner companies manufacture them for Tesla Motors.
In 2009 Tesla Motors contracted with Lotus to build cars without the mechanical system, so the company could assemble the electrical parts. This contract was extended until 2011 for the production of the Tesla Roadster model.
The company has 3 "Gigafactories" around the world, dedicated to the production of vehicles and components not only Tesla Motors but also Solarcity (Musk ecology company focused on everyday energy). These factories use environmentally friendly parameters and offer a great deal of employment.

Recharge mode:
Tesla cars can be recharged with domestic electric power using adapters. But as an alternative to that, the company has several service centers located around the world to recharge cars on long trips.
Products:
The company currently has 5 models of cars, but has future projects.
Tesla Roadster: The company's first car, it has a distance of 322 km per load and accelerates from 0 to 97km/h in 3.9 seconds.
Tesla Roadster Sport: This is an improved version of the Tesla Roadster and features acceleration from 0 to 97km/h in 3.7 seconds.
Tesla Model S: A family car with space for 5 adults and 2 children. It has a distance of between 338 and 507 km in its different versions.
Tesla Model X: It is an all-terrain vehicle that has an acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 6.2 seconds in the base model.
Tesla Model 3: It has an acceleration from 0 to 97km/h in 5.6 seconds in its standard version with a travel greater than 354km per load.
The company is named "Tesla" after Serbo-Croatian scientist Nikola Tesla, who made great strides in the field of electricity.
From my point of view, using electric transport is a good way to take care of the environment and reduce pollution.
In post I will be emphasizing the vehicles already built by Tesla Motors and those that will be built in the future.
