Tesla (USA): Company Introduction and Official Domain

Tesla is a multinational company in the electric vehicle and clean energy industry, headquartered in Texas, USA. It manufactures and sells electric vehicles, solar panels, and energy storage equipment and system solutions. The current CEO is Elon Musk.

Tesla has been listed in the Fortune Global 500 for many consecutive years and has been recognized as one of the most innovative electric vehicle companies. However, incidents such as the April 19th Tesla owner protest and the April 27th Tesla crash in Jinhua have also embroiled Tesla in public controversy.

On July 1, 2003, Martin Eberhard and his longtime business partner Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla Motors, headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. Named after Nikola Tesla, the father of alternating current and radio, Tesla's aim is to "accelerate the world's transition to electric mobility through increasingly affordable electric vehicles."

After its founding, the Tesla team began searching for the investment and materials needed for a high-performance electric sports car. Because Martin Eberhard had no experience in car manufacturing, he eventually approached AC Propulsion. Through Tom Gage, then CEO of AC Propulsion, Elon Musk, who was very interested in electric vehicle technology, met Eberhard's team. In February 2004, after a meeting, Musk invested $6.3 million in Tesla on the condition that he become the company's chairman and have final decision-making power, while Martin Eberhard, as Tesla's founder, served as the company's CEO.
