The complex system of car power supplies required a special cooling system. Because the founders of Tesla Motors did not understand cars, they began to lure experts from Lotus Cars, which almost ended in scandal. In total, the company at that time employed about a hundred people.
The first car available for sale, Tesla Motors introduced in 2008 under the name Tesla Roadster. It could reach a speed of 100 km / h in 4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 210 km / h. The charge was enough for 400 km. You can "refuel" the electric car with a regular outlet. The car went on sale in June 2006 for $ 100,000. And although the car was not so well received, Elon Musk and his company worked hard on more advanced electric vehicles and in 2011 introduced the Tesla Model S. Its production at the Tesla plant began on October 17, 2010.
On June 29, 2010, the company held an IPO to attract additional investment, at $ 17 / share. The company is attracting investments of $ 226 million. On the close of trading, Tesla shares ( ) jumped to $ 23.89.
