Interesting facts about Musk companies. Part 2. Tesla
Tesla
Previously, Tesla Motors, founded in 2003. Its shares in April 2017 rose to 314 USD per unit. It is often considered to be the Mask`s company, although he is not its founder. Initially, the idea of a startup was born to Martin Eberhard. A talented engineer had long dreamed of a car with economical fuel consumption, but he was not keen on cars. Yes, and modest savings was barely enough for a decent start.
So Martin turned to Elon Musk and did not lose. At that time, Musk has already received its $ 165 million from the PayPal sale and was eager to invest in the ambitious project. Tesla came exactly on time.
Here are 4 interesting facts about the company and the cars Tesla:
The first car released by the company was a "rip-off". Tesla decided not to bother with the design of the car, so just got a Lotus Elise and modified so that the car ran completely on electricity. Thanks to the new battery, ex English car reached a maximum speed of 210 km / h in just 4 seconds accelerated to 100 km / h.
Production electric Tesla employs almost 200 robots and the largest of them are named after characters from the world-famous Marvel comics "X-Men". But in addition to robots working in factories a huge number of professionals who create and put the high-capacity battery in the car. All this is assembled by hand and all interior trim is also done manually.
One of the "chips" of Tesla cars – is a smart air suspension that can automatically adjust the clearance between car and track. You only once have to ride on an uncomfortable road and the next time the machine in such sections of the road will adjust the rise itself. In addition, the bottom of a car is protected by the armored 6mm panel from pits and mounds on the track.
Tesla Semi truck struck everyone by all of its features. It can travel on a single battery charge 800 km and it is at full load and maximum permitted speed. Without a load, the vehicle can accelerate to the speed of 96.6 miles per hour in five seconds, and with maximum load - 20 seconds.

I hope you liked it, next part coming soon. Join me!
I am sorry to disagree but some of the facts are incomplete or wrong:
On 11 July 2005, Tesla and British sports car maker Lotus entered an agreement about products and services based on the Lotus Elise, where Lotus provided advice on designing and developing a vehicle as well as producing partly assembled vehicles, and amended in 2009, helped with basic chassis development. The Roadster has a parts overlap of roughly 6 percent with the Lotus Elise, a 2-inch longer wheelbase, and a slightly stiffer chassis according to Eberhard.
Tesla's designers chose to construct the body panels using resin transfer molded carbon fiber composite to minimize weight; this choice makes the Roadster one of the least expensive cars with an entirely carbon fiber skin.
This is far from you claiming it was a "rip-off". This is a commercial cooperation agreement. I upvoted because I am a strong Tesla and Elon Musk supporter and I know you will fix the error.
Also I think you can take your time and make a complete article rather than split it into many small parts.Over splitting doesn't send a good message to the readers. I know the rewards could be bigger, I am swimming in the same tank as you :P

It should be understood that in my post, this fact is more sarcastic in nature. Of course, that Musk didn't just copy someone else's car, of course, that an agreement was signed with Lotus. Here is the view that Musk gave preference to the finished design on the basis of Lotus Elise. I think you just misunderstood me, at least I did not mean that Musk is a plagiarist.
Thanks anyway for your comment, I will take them into consideration
Oh how long, i must work on steemit for this car? 😅
not as long as you might think)))
Последнее время названия Тесла - везде. И это прекрасно. Возможно с переходом на электрический вид топлива для автомобилей резко упадет цена на бензин и газ.
Це точно, обвал нафти і газу буде однозначно. Саме тому країни, які зараз є гігантами нафтової промислововсті активно сповільнюють всіма можливими способами розвиток альтернативних джерел енергії. Але надіємось, що тверезий глузд все ж візьме гору.
