History of Tesla

One of the brightest start-ups in Silicon Valley is Tesla Motors Ltd, a company that builds new eco-friendly electric vehicles.

The first official project presentation of the brand took place in 2006, when the Tesla Roadster sports car, the world’s first model of an electric car of this type, was presented at the Santa Monica Auto Show (California). The Tesla Roadster itself in the initial design was sold from the beginning of 2008 until 2012, then it was replaced by a modification of the Tesla Model S, which was distinguished by an improved design and serious improvements in the design and technical part.

The Model S Concept was shown at the 2009 California Auto Show. Tesla Motors Ltd originally planned to produce 10,000 units, then they were increased to 25,000 cars per year. In 2012, official Tesla Model S sales began around the world, and in the fall, the car received the prestigious Motor Trend 2013 Car of the Year award.

In 2012, Tesla Motors showed off the Tesla Model X crossover concept based on the Model S platform, which went into production the following year and begins shipping to prepaid customers in 2014.

Also, another model is on the way, codenamed BlueStar. It will be a compact electric car, the price of which looks much more pleasant compared to its predecessor Tesla Model S – the company plans to sell it for only $30,000 for a high-quality and fast electric car as standard. This is almost half the price of previous Tesla vehicles.

In 2015, the Tesla Model S P85D was released – an updated electric car from a world-famous manufacturer. The new model looks exactly like the Tesla Model S, but with numerous improvements. For starters, it’s all-wheel drive, and just colossal speed and power. The electric car produces an impressive 691 hp.
