Tesla.

Introduction:

Tesla Inc. is an American company that produces and sells electric vehicles. It was founded in July 2003 by engineer Martin Eberhard. It was established on March 1st and is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, USA.

Tesla Motor Company, named after electrical engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla, specializes in the production of pure electric vehicles. The major models it produces include Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S, and Tesla Model X. . Tesla Motors is the world's first electric vehicle company to use lithium-ion batteries, and its first electric vehicle is the Roadster. From 2008 to 2012, the company sold more than 2,250 Roadsters in 31 countries. The company began producing the right-hand drive Roadster for the British and Irish markets in 2010, and has expanded sales to Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, as well as mainland China. On November 22, 2016, Tesla announced that the company had completed the acquisition of solar energy company SolarCity.

On February 1, 2017, Tesla Motors Inc officially announced that it would remove the word "Motors" which means "car" from the company's registered name and change it to Tesla Inc. ..

On October 22, 2017, Tesla reached an agreement with the Shanghai Municipal Government to build a factory in China. On November 17, Tesla officially released the Roadster in the United States.

Development prospects:

Tesla plans to develop a network of super charging stations and service centers in the United States to promote car sales. Tesla mentioned in this email that the company plans to reduce the cost of electric vehicles and make them mainstream. ?Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla will soon announce plans for a "gigafactory" that is crucial to the company's ability to manufacture cheap electric cars costing $35,000. In 2014, Tesla's cheapest Model S electric car sold for $72,000, with some configurations costing more than $100,000.

The battery is the most expensive component of an electric vehicle. Typically, battery components are produced in several different factories. For example, one factory is responsible for manufacturing electrodes from raw materials, another is responsible for assembling battery particles, and another is responsible for assembling battery modules. Tesla's "Super Factory" will cover all these manufacturing links. The email stated that the Gigafactory will help them achieve a significant reduction in battery module costs and accelerate battery innovation. By working with suppliers, they plan to integrate the production of raw materials, battery pellets and battery modules in the same factory. Through such a factory, they will develop attractive and affordable electric vehicles within 3 years.

On April 1, 2014, Tesla Motors (TESLA) planned to build its U.S. battery factory using only raw materials from North America. The cost of the factory is expected to be US$5 billion. This will allow Tesla to establish a localized supply chain focused on minimizing environmental impact while significantly reducing battery costs.
