Tesla is an American electric vehicle brand that produces and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage equipment. Its headquarters is located in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley, California, USA. The main models include Tesla Roadster, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Tesla Model S P85D, Tesla Model 3, etc. The key milestones in Tesla's development are as follows: On July 1, 2003, Martin Eberhard and his long-term partner Marc Tarpenning co-founded Tesla Motors. In February 2004, through a meeting, Musk invested $6.3 million in TESLA, officially beginning Tesla's legendary journey. In October 2008, the first batch of Tesla Roadsters rolled off the production line and began deliveries. In 2009, Obama and Steven Chu visited Tesla's factory, and Tesla successfully secured a $464 million low-interest loan from the U.S. Department of Energy. In 2012, the first electric sports car of the new "Model S" series produced at Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, was officially delivered. In 2014, Tesla achieved record car sales in the fourth quarter, with annual revenue exceeding $2 billion. In 2019, Tesla officially announced that the domestically produced Tesla Model 3 was open for pre-orders.
I know the Tesla brand, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, USA, which serves as their primary R&D center. Their earliest production base was the Fremont Factory in California, manufacturing models like the Model S. Later, to meet soaring global demand, they established the Shanghai Gigafactory, specializing in the production of Model 3 and Model Y for the Chinese and Asian markets. Now, there's also the Berlin Gigafactory in Europe, mainly catering to European customers. Essentially, Tesla is an American company, but to ensure efficient supply and localized costs, production has expanded to China, Germany, and other locations. This globalized manufacturing approach makes car purchases more convenient while also avoiding tariff issues—a pretty reasonable strategy. I think this benefits the popularization of electric vehicles, especially with rapid demand growth, as local production speeds up deliveries.
