so I put my signal on it’s accelerating
the car moved over a complete Lane and
there you go named after the archetypal
mad scientist this company is turning
its own crazy ideas into reality welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down ten fundamental facts you
should know about Tesla Motors number 10
what is Tesla Motors Tesla Motors
Incorporated is an American automotive
company that specializes in the
manufacture of luxury electric cars a
forward-thinking firm they also make
electric vehicle powertrain components
and lithium-ion battery products which
are sold to other car companies
including Daimler and Toyota Tesla
Motors was founded in 2003 and has been
steadily growing since then as of June
2015 the company employs around 12,000
people number nine
who created Tesla Tesla emerged out of
California in the early 2000s CEO Elon
Musk later joined the original founders
Martin Eberhard and mark carpeting in
2004 during the first round of funding
given using the same sauce fuel you’re
twice as at least twice as better off
charging electric car than running it at
the power plant
however Nikola Tesla is likely the first
name most would link with the brand the
Serbian inventor born 1856 died 1943 is
still world famous for his work on
alternating current power without which
Tesla Motors would not be possible with
its name the company pays homage to a
hero of electric science number eight
who currently runs Tesla people have
called you the real Tony Stark oK you’ve
got your finger in so many different
advanced technologies as I said SpaceX
Tesla now you’ve got Solar City and the
solar pack that people put on their
house
as of October 2015 Elon Musk was the CEO
of Tesla an international business
magnate he’s widely held as one of the
leading visionaries of the 21st century
as well as Tesla he CEO of commercial
space travel company SpaceX he’s
chairman of the energy firm Solar City
and he’s also a co-founder of the
internet banking service PayPal Musk has
held roles at Tesla as CEO and product
architect ever since the 2008 financial
crisis
I actually thought we would fail you did
really I thought would maybe have a 1020
percent chance of success
I mean startups in general fail and
order startups especially faithful to
number seven how much is Tesla worth
it’s not just going to be the biggest
lithium-ion battery Factory in the world
but it’ll actually be bigger than the
sum of all the Theia my own factories in
the world in general Tesla Motors worth
seems to be rising by the day in the
first quarter of 2013 it posted profits
for the first time in its history and
figures have continued to rise share
costs have skyrocketed from an initial
$17 and have been resting above the $200
mark for some time we think it’s worth
$320 it’s the only auto stock we
recommend in North America were
underweight rated on on both GM and Ford
currently the company’s total worth is
estimated between 25 and 30 billion
dollars but in February 2015
musk himself predicted that Tesla would
be worth 700 billion by 2025 so it’s not
just a guarantee from Tesla it’s a
guarantee from me personally number six
what kind of cars does tesla make i
never have to change the oil i never
have to change the filters you know it
doesn’t make loud noise it doesn’t
vibrate as of october 2015
tesla offered four models the roadster
was their first production vehicle
introduced in 2006 the recipient of
countless awards and built like a sports
car in 2012 came the Model S a more
family-friendly sedan like vehicle that
was shipped worldwide in greater numbers
in the years that followed the Model X
was announced in 2012 and first
deliveries began in September 2015
billed as a crossover utility vehicle
the ex has a family car filled with
sports car features including an $80,000
price tag the model 3 is scheduled for
unveiling in 2016 with Tesla aiming for
a more affordable $35,000 commercial
cost and initial deliveries beginning
late the next year number five did the
cars possess special features my hands
are off the wheel my feet are off the
brake or the accelerator
we’re on cruise control at 44 miles an
hour and the car is completely steering
by itself one of the major selling
points for Tesla is that it manages to
blend automotive functionality with
cutting-edge aesthetics
the Model X for example has a panoramic
windshield double-hinged falcon doors
and an in-car HEPA filter that the
company claims will bathe the cabin in
medical grade air cleanliness beginning
in 2014 the Model S also offers a
pioneering autopilot mode as well as an
ultra smart infotainment panel at the
front of the car number four who are
Tesla’s competitors I think this is
going to be recognized as as the key
sort of turning point when electric cars
really became the best product as Tesla
steadily proves that there is value in
electric automobiles similar startups
are rapidly emerging to rival them the
Chinese company next evie has promised
to launch an electric supercar in 2016
California based business Faraday future
offers competition a little closer to
home as it plans to launch its first
electric car in 2017
there’s also Renault Bo motors for those
looking for an exceptionally high-end
electric car the classically styled
Renova coupe from Renault veau Motors
claims zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.4
seconds and a battery charge time of
just 30 minutes we really wanted
something that was looked gorgeous but
at the same time would be a very modern
and fun car on the street we’re thrilled
to have done something with a such a
great car as this number 3 where can you

Tesla is built around a fairly strict
business plan of direct-to-consumer
sales their cars are sold at a fixed

lithium-ion batteries and in 2009
