Tesla

Tesla, a pioneering American automotive and clean energy company, is best known for its fully electric vehicles and its vertically integrated business model. Founded in 2003, Tesla disrupted the automotive industry by focusing on high-performance electric cars with advanced technology features like Autopilot, a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems, and a large touchscreen interface controlling nearly all vehicle functions. Their vehicles are renowned for their acceleration, range, and sophisticated software updates delivered over-the-air. Tesla’s business strategy extends beyond vehicle production, encompassing battery technology development, solar energy solutions (through SolarCity), and a rapidly expanding Supercharger network designed to facilitate long-distance travel for its electric car owners. This integrated approach aims to accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy. While initially targeting a premium market, Tesla is progressively expanding its product lineup to encompass more affordable options, aiming for broader market penetration.
