Tesla entered the automotive market with the colourful Roadster. However, it stopped creating the Roadster once it had launched the Sedan, called the Model S, in 2012.
Like Apple develops the iPhone and Microsoft uses Intel chips and Dell PCs uniquely, Tesla builds its cars by developing computer code on unique hardware.
This permits the corporate to reinforce its cars’ computer code functionality with ease. simply exploit fewer parts, the whole value of Tesla possession is significantly not up to an enclosed combustion vehicle. there’s no ought to expense on oil changes, tune-ups, exchange mufflers, and more.
Recently, Tesla’s market capitalization reached to triple-digit mark, US$107 billion, for the first time, passing German manufacturer Volkswagen AG, which contains a market capitalization of concerning US$100 billion.
3. Not just green, but fast
Despite being purely electric, it is fast. The Model S P85D, a dual motor all-wheel drive vehicle has a governed top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h) and it accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in 3.2 seconds, under “Insane Mode”.
4. Recharge quick, recharge fast
Tesla drivers get the benefit of a lifetime of free Supercharging (super fast recharging) and the network of charging stations is wide. According to Musk, some 80% of Americans are “covered” by the Supercharger network, and with the completion of the interior corridor, Model S drivers can now drive from one coast to the other and back, for free, using the fast-charging system
5. Everything is a touch away
Model S also has one of the largest automotive touchscreen (17”) in the world and the ability to control almost the options and features (mechanical/electrical/thermal etc. ) of the car makes it far ahead of its competitors.
6. Option of No Physical Service
Tesla employs what it calls Tesla Rangers mobile technicians who can service vehicles from your house. Sometimes the owner can wirelessly upload data so technicians can view and fix the problems online without ever needing to physically touch the car.
Tesla is successful greatly because of its business model. The strategy of creating a wide network of charging stations to solve one of the greatest obstacles facing adoption of electric vehicles refuelling on long trips and its unique approach to controlling over all sales and service, is one of the reasons of its success.
7. Autopilot
Tesla Autopilot is a suite of advanced driver-assistance system features offered by Tesla that has lane centring, traffic-aware cruise control, self-parking, automatic lane changes, semi-autonomous navigation on limited access free ways, and the ability to summon the car from a garage or parking spot.

8. Range (better battery chemistry)
Tesla has been using small amounts of silicon oxide in its anodes for years. Tesla is also working on improvements to its cathode chemistry. Most lithium-ion batteries found in electric vehicles today including Tesla’s use a cathode made from lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide, otherwise known as NMC.
9. Battery production capacity
US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla plans to turns its Berlin-Gruenheide factory into the world’s largest EV battery plant, CEO Elon Musk said Nov. 24 at a German government-organized EU battery conference.
10. Over the air updates
