Tesla Motor's Electric Cars
Tesla Motors is an electric car
manufacturing company. Headed by Elon Musk, this company wants to create cars
which runs on pure form of energy and don't pollute the environment. Tesla
Motors started in 2003, by Martin
Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who wished to create a company to make electric
cars. They were funded and encouraged by Elon Musk, who later became the
chairman of the company. The company has been producing plenty of electric cars
and revolutionizing the world of cars. It has many small batteries instead of
one large one hence minimizing power loss and also having emergency power. But
this car company also have controversies such as blasts and uneconomical
buying of SolarCity.
Considering the pros and cons of the
company profile and its cars, I give it 4 on five.
