Tesla's logo is the letter "T", but it turns out that this simple logo is not only the acronym of the inventor Tesla (Tesla), but also has a deeper meaning behind it. Tesla CEO Musk explained on Twitter that the stylized "T" is actually a hint to the company's products, saying that the T-shaped logo represents the cross-section of the electric motor.

The main part of the letter T represents part of the motor rotor, while the second line at the top represents part of the peripheral stator. Tesla also has similarities with SpaceX in terms of logo design. SpaceX is another of Musk's bold ventures, building rockets and sending payloads into orbit.

Musk said in a tweet that the deformed "X" in the SpaceX logo represents the rocket launch trajectory. The Tesla and SpaceX logos are the work of RO-Studio, a New Jersey-based design firm. Compared to Tesla and SpaceX, Musk's third company, SolarCity, has a relatively simple logo. The graphic of the yellow sun paired with the company name is simple and clear.

Under Musk’s leadership, Tesla acquired SolarCity in 2016, triggering people’s imagination about solar electric vehicles. SolarCity was previously controlled by Musk and his family members, but after the acquisition it was called a corporate entity affiliated with Tesla. The acquisition of SolarCity hints at Musk's expectations for Tesla's future, and is not just satisfied with the latter becoming a car manufacturer.
