Since its inception in 2003, Tesla has been a car company on a mission to revolutionize the automobile industry. Spearheaded by eccentric philanthropist Elon Musk, Tesla has effectively made electric cars relevant in the competitive auto market. Through the modernization of batteries and an effort to keep their vehicles reasonably priced, Tesla now leads the electric motor vehicle industry for both hybrids and purely electric cars. The manufacturer has forced its competitors to catch up in technology and environmental responsibility in its short lifetime.
Modern technological features
The starring feature of Tesla automobiles is its usage of lithium-ion commodity cell batteries. Common among consumer electronics, these batteries are lightweight, cheap to manufacture and store an optimal charge. Aside from investing in the research of lithium-ion energy, much has gone into the development of battery safety to avoid fires and debris damage. Additionally, Tesla vehicles are fitted with top-line technology such as the advanced driver-assistance system, a version of autopilot that requires operator supervision. Tesla is leading the research of fully autonomous driving that utilizes radar and ultrasonic sensors.
Choice of electric models
Tesla may offer a limited selection of models, but it is quickly expanding. Musk has revealed a master plan that includes the development of more affordable cars, SUVs, trucks, and autonomous vehicles. Currently, there are a few options for new and used Tesla for sale. The award-winning Tesla Model S was the first all-electric vehicle to top monthly sales rankings. The Tesla Model X is a mid-size SUV alternative to the popular Tesla Model S. Meanwhile, the updated Tesla Model 3 has since become the worldâs best-selling electric car in history. The Tesla Model Y is a larger utility version that shares many components with the more traditional 4-door sedan.
