Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, said that Tesla strives to provide pure electric vehicles for every ordinary consumer within its consumption capacity. Tesla's vision is to accelerate the global transition to sustainable energy.
Development history
Tesla's initial new energy vehicle entrepreneurial team mainly came from Silicon Valley, and built cars with IT concepts, rather than the ideas of traditional automobile manufacturers represented by Detroit. Therefore, Tesla's electric car is often seen as a story of a Silicon Valley kid against a Detroit giant.
199 1 year, GM developed EV- 1 and put it on the market as the first mass-produced electric vehicle. This car is ugly, with a cruising range of 140 km. Due to the low input-output ratio, after producing more than 2,000 cars, General Motors announced its abandonment in 2002.
This incident made GM take the blame, and a documentary called "Who killed the electric car" made this incident widely circulated. El Cocconi, an engineer who participated in the EV- 1 project afterwards, founded an electric car company in California and produced a lead-acid battery car for one person only.
