WHETHER or not you think Tesla is an over-hyped company, or that its cars are deserving of the adulation that they regularly receive, you can’t deny that company founder Elon Musk has shaken up the market with products that are like nothing else. Not only that, but Tesla has also set up a charging infrastructure that’s the envy of its rivals.
Tesla was founded in 2003 and its first car, the Roadster, was introduced in 2005. Effectively an electrified two-seater sharing much with the Lotus Elise, the Roadster sold in tiny numbers. It wasn’t until 2012 that we saw the first mainstream Teslas: the Model S, followed shortly by the Model X SUV. That’s just over eight years ago, so when you look at what Tesla has achieved in subsequent years, it’s quite remarkable.
