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.
