I’m not disputing any of that… Tesla, Inc. (/ˈtɛslə/ TESS-lə or /ˈtɛzlə/ TEZ-lə[a]) is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company headquartered in Austin, Texas. Tesla designs and manufactures electric vehicles (electric cars and trucks), battery energy storage from home to grid-scale, solar panels and solar roof tiles, and related products and services. Tesla is one of the world's most valuable companies and is, as of 2023, the world's most valuable automaker. In 2022, the company had the most worldwide sales of battery electric vehicles, capturing 18% of the market. Through its subsidiary Tesla Energy, the company develops and is a major installer of photovoltaic systems in the United States. Tesla Energy is also one of the largest global suppliers of battery energy storage systems, with 6.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) installed in 2022. Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. The company's name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, via a $6.5 million investment, Elon Musk became the largest shareholder of the company. He has served as CEO since 2008. According to Musk, the purpose of Tesla is to help expedite the move to sustainable transport and energy, obtained through electric vehicles and solar power. Tesla began production of its first car model, the Roadster sports car, in 2008. This was followed by the Model S sedan in 2012, the Model X SUV in 2015, the Model 3 sedan in 2017, the Model Y crossover in 2020, and the Tesla Semi truck in 2022. The company plans to start production of the Cybertruck light-duty pickup truck in 2023.[8] The Model 3 is the all-time bestselling plug-in electric car worldwide, and in June 2021 became the first electric car to sell 1 million units globally.[9] Tesla's 2022 full year deliveries were around 1.31 million vehicles, a 40% increase over the previous year,[10][11] and cumulative sales totaled 3 million cars as of August 2022.[12] In October 2021, Tesla's market capitalization reached $1 trillion, the sixth company to do so in U.S. history. Tesla has been the subject of several lawsuits, government scrutiny, journalistic criticism, and public controversies arising from statements and acts of CEO Elon Musk and from allegations of whistleblower retaliation, worker rights violations, and defects with their products. History Main article: History of Tesla, Inc. Tesla Motors insignia as seen on a Tesla Roadster, c. 2010 Founding (2003–2004) The company was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.[13] Eberhard and Tarpenning served as CEO and CFO, respectively.[14] Eberhard said he wanted to build "a car manufacturer that is also a technology company", with its core technologies as "the battery, the computer software, and the proprietary motor".[15] Ian Wright was Tesla's third employee, joining a few months later.[13] In February 2004, the company raised $7.5 million in series A funding, including $6.5 million from Elon Musk, who had received $100 million from the sale of his interest in PayPal two years earlier. Musk became the chairman of the board of directors and the largest shareholder of Tesla.[16][17][14] J. B. Straubel joined Tesla in May 2004 as chief technical officer.[18] A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five – Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk, and Straubel – to call themselves co-founders.[19] Roadster (2005–2009) Main article: Tesla Roadster (first generation) Elon Musk took an active role within the company and oversaw Roadster product design at a detailed level, but was not deeply involved in day-to-day business operations.[20] The company's strategy was to start with a premium sports car aimed at early adopters and then move into more mainstream vehicles, including sedans and affordable compacts.[21] In February 2017, Tesla Motors changed its name to Tesla, Inc., to better reflect the scope of its expanded business, which now included electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems, and solar power generation.[50][51][52] That year Tesla also started its philanthropic effort. Tesla made multiple contributions of solar power to areas recovering from disasters in 2017, in particular installing a solar plus storage system to restore electricity at a hospital in Puerto Rico, following the destruction from Hurricane Maria.[53][54] In July 2018, the company donated $37.5 million to kindergarten to 12th grade science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education in Nevada.[55] Tesla began selling its fourth vehicle model, the Model 3 sedan, in July 2017.[56] The Model 3 was a cheaper vehicle compared to previous Tesla vehicles, and was intended for the mass market. It was highly anticipated, which prompted the company to try to speed up production.[57] By August 2017, there were 455,000 reservations for the Model 3.[58] The rollout was plagued by delays and production problems.[59] This increased pressure on the company, which at this time was one of the most shorted companies in the market. In August 2018, CEO Elon Musk briefly considered taking Tesla private.[60][61] The plan did not materialize, and gave rise to much controversy and many lawsuits including a securities fraud charge from the SEC. By the end of 2018, the production problems had been overcome, and the Model 3 was the world's bestselling plug-in electric car for the year.[62] Global expansion and Model Y (2019–present) Tesla opened its first "Gigafactory" outside the United States in Shanghai, China, in 2019. Giga Shanghai was the first automobile factory in China fully owned by a foreign company, and was built in less than six months.[63] The following year Tesla also started construction on a new Gigafactory near Berlin, Germany, and another in Texas, United States. In March 2020, Tesla began deliveries of its fifth vehicle model, the Model Y crossover.[64] On January 10, 2020, Tesla reached a market capitalization of $86 billion, breaking the record for highest valuation of any American automaker.[65] On June 10, 2020, Tesla's market capitalization surpassed those of BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen combined.[66] The next month, Tesla reached a valuation of $206 billion, surpassing Toyota's $202 billion to become the world's most valuable automaker by market capitalization.[67] On August 31, 2020, following this increase in value, Tesla had a 5-for-1 stock split.[68] From July 2019 to June 2020, Tesla reported four profitable quarters in a row for the first time, which made it eligible for inclusion in the S&P 500.[69] Tesla was added to the index on December 21, 2020.[70] It was the largest company ever added, and the sixth-largest company in the index at the time of its inclusion.[70] As investors tried to buy more shares as a result of this inclusion, some analysts, such as J.P. Morgan's Ryan Brinkman, suggested investors exercise caution as Tesla was "dramatically" overvalued.[71] Throughout 2020, the share price of Tesla increased 740%,[72] and on January 26, 2021, its market capitalization reached $848 billion,[73] more than the next nine largest automakers combined and making it the 5th most valuable company in the US.[74][75] From 2015 to 2020, Tesla acquired companies including Riviera Tool, Grohmann Engineering, Perbix, Compass Automation, Hibar Systems, and German ATW Automation to advance Tesla's expertise in automation, along with Maxwell Technologies and SilLion to add to Tesla's abilities in battery technology.[76][77] Grohmann (renamed Tesla Automation) and Maxwell would continue to operate as subsidiary companies, while the rest would be merged into Tesla. In July 2021, Musk acknowledged that Tesla had sold Maxwell to the former VP of sales for Maxwell.[78] In January 2020, Tesla donated RMB 5,000,000 ($723,000 in 2020 dollars) to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China.[79][80] In October 2020, Tesla told Electrek that it had dissolved its public relations (PR) department (with the exception of a few PR managers representing Tesla's European and Asian markets), becoming the first automaker to do so.[81] Tesla hit its goal of building 500,000 cars in 2020.[82] The company ended the year with over $19 billion of cash,[83] compared to $6.3 billion at the end of 2019.[84] In February 2021, Tesla revealed that it had invested $1.5 billion in bitcoin in 2020[83][85] and on March 24 the company started accepting bitcoin as a form of payment for vehicle purchases in the United States and stated that it would introduce bitcoin payment in other countries later that year.[86] At the time, Musk tweeted that "Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency."[87][non-primary source needed] It was later revealed in financial documents that between January 1 and March 31, 2021, Tesla had made a $101 million profit on the sale of bitcoin. After 49 days of accepting the digital currency, the company reversed course on May 12, 2021, saying they would no longer take bitcoin due to concerns that "mining" the cryptocurrency was contributing to the consumption of fossil fuels and climate change.[88] The decision resulted in the price of bitcoin dropping around 12% on May 13.[89] During a July bitcoin conference, Musk suggested Tesla could help bitcoin miners switch to renewable energy in the future and also stated at the same conference that if bitcoin mining reaches, and trends above 50 percent renewable energy usage, that "Tesla would resume accepting bitcoin." The price for bitcoin rose after this announcement.[90] In July 2022 it was reported that Tesla had sold about 75% of its bitcoin holdings.[91] It was worth $936 million.[92] After earlier disputes with California officials over COVID-19 restrictions, on December 1, 2021, Tesla moved its headquarters from Palo Alto, California, to its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.[93][94] However, Musk stated that Tesla would continue to operate its Fremont factory in the San Francisco Bay Area,[94] and will continue to expand in California.[95] In September 2021, Tesla broke ground on a new battery factory in Lathrop, California,[96] and signed a lease in October 2021 for additional office space in Palo Alto.[97] Musk announced in February 2023 that Tesla would establish its global engineering headquarters in Palo Alto, moving into a corporate campus once owned by HP.[98] Also in October 2021, Tesla's market capitalization reached $1 trillion, the sixth company to do so in U.S. history, on news that car rental company Hertz had placed an order for 100,000 Tesla vehicles for its fleet.[99] On March 22, 2022, Tesla launched its new car factory outside Berlin, with Chief Executive Elon Musk handing over the first deliveries to customers. The US carmaker's Giga Berlin plant is the largest for electric vehicles in Europe.[100] On April 7, 2022, Tesla celebrated the public opening of the Giga Texas facility with its Cyber Rodeo event attended by an estimated 15,000 invitees.[101] Tesla Semi The Tesla Semi is an all-electric Class 8 semi-trailer truck announced in November 2017. Musk confirmed that two variants would be available: one with 300 miles (480 km) and one with 500 miles (800 km) of range.[137] The Semi will be powered by four independent electric motors of the type used in the Tesla Model 3 and will include an extensive set of hardware sensors to enable it to stay in its own lane, a safe distance away from other vehicles, and later, when software and regulatory conditions allow, provide self-driving operation on highways.[138] Musk also announced that the company would be involved in installing a solar-powered global network of Tesla Megachargers to make the Semi more attractive to potential long-haul customers. A 30-minute charge would provide 400 miles (640 km) of range.[139][140] Musk initially said in 2017 that Semi deliveries would start in 2019 and be selling 100,000 trucks a year, but deliveries were later delayed to 2021 and then 2022.[141] Part of the reason for the delays, according to Musk, is that the Semi includes five times more battery cells than their passenger cars, and the battery supply is not yet sufficient for both Tesla cars and the Semi.[142][143] In October 2022, the company announced it would deliver its first all-electric semitrailer truck for PepsiCo in December, in what would be the first new model the company would give to consumers since the beginning of 2020, when it started delivering the Model Y crossover. At the time of the announcement, the trucks would support PepsiCo plants in Sacramento and Modesto, California.[144][145][146] Future products Roadster (second generation) Main article: Tesla Roadster (second generation) Tesla Roadster prototype In a surprise reveal at the end of the event that introduced the Tesla Semi on November 16, 2017, Tesla unveiled the second generation Roadster. Musk said that the new model will have a range of 620 miles (1,000 km) with the 200 kilowatt-hours (720 MJ) battery pack and will achieve 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 1.9 seconds; it also will achieve 0–100 miles per hour (0–161 km/h) in 4.2 seconds,[147] and the top speed will be over 250 miles per hour (400 km/h). The SpaceX Package will include cold air thrusters that will increase the speed even more.[148] The vehicle will have three electric motors allowing for all-wheel drive and torque vectoring during cornering.[148] At the time, the base price was set at $200,000, while the first 1,000 units (the Founder's series) will sell for $250,000.[148] Reservations required a deposit of $50,000, and those who ordered the Founder's series paid the $250,000 in full upon ordering. Those who made a reservation at the event were allowed a test drive (with a driver) in the prototype.[149] Deliveries are expected to start in 2023.[150] Cybertruck Main article: Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck The Cybertruck is a pickup truck unveiled on November 21, 2019.[151] Production has been delayed past 2022, and as of February 2023 it is scheduled to be Mid 2023.[152] The truck's design had a mixed reception, and some Wall Street analysts questioned whether American pickup truck buyers will have interest in the Cybertruck.[153][154][155] On September 22, 2020, Musk revealed roughly 600,000 Cybertruck preorders.[156] James Goodwin, chief executive of ANCAP, said in 2019 that the design of the Cybertruck could pose safety risks, saying that the front "would look like it's not very forgiving".[157] After the Cybertruck's unveiling, Musk announced that the Tesla Cyberquad, an electric four-wheel quad bike revealed alongside the Cybertruck, would be an optional accessory for Cybertruck buyers.[158] Tesla next-generation vehicle Main article: Tesla next-generation vehicle The Tesla next-generation vehicle is an upcoming battery electric car under development by Tesla as of 2022. The unnamed next-generation vehicle will be the third mainstream platform for the company and Musk has claimed that its production volumes will greatly surpass those of the Model 3/Y platform, which would happen no earlier than 2025 according to Forbes.[159] Discontinued The original Roadster Tesla Roadster Main article: Tesla Roadster (first generation) The only discontinued Tesla vehicle model is the original Tesla Roadster.[160] The Roadster was a two-seater sports car, evolved from the Lotus Elise chassis,[161] that was produced from 2008 to 2012. The Roadster was the first highway legal serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 200 miles (320 km) per charge. It is also the first production car to be launched into space; Musk launched his Roadster into a Mars-crossing orbit on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket test flight on February 6, 2018.[162] Other concepts On July 20, 2016, Musk detailed his new master plan "part deux" for Tesla. It includes more affordable cars produced in higher volume, solar roofs, mid-size vehicles, SUVs and pickup trucks, as well as the refinement of autonomous vehicles and the creation of a sharing economy, in which cars can be active while the owner is not using them.[163] Tesla's plan also indicated building a minibus on the Model X platform,[164] but in May 2017, Musk indicated that he might favor a 10–12 passenger version of the Model X over a dedicated minibus design.[165] Musk dashed hopes for a Tesla motorcycle, saying in 2018 "we're not going to do motorcycles".[166] Also in 2016, Musk revealed Tesla's intention to produce a car cheaper than the Model 3.[167] In 2018, Musk indicated a plan to enter a new market segment, offering a compact hatchback in "less than five years".[168][169] In 2020, Musk said Tesla expects to have a $25,000 electric car within 3 years, which "will basically be on-par or slightly better than a comparable gasoline car".[170] In April 2019, Musk announced Tesla's intention to launch an autonomous taxi service by the end of 2020 using more than 1 million Tesla vehicles.[171] A year later, in April 2020, Musk stated Tesla would not make the end of 2020 deadline but said, "we'll have the functionality necessary for full self-driving by the end of the year."[172] Tesla Energy products Main article: Tesla Energy Two Tesla Powerwall 2 home energy storage devices from Tesla Energy Tesla subsidiary Tesla Energy develops, builds, sells and installs solar energy generation systems and battery energy storage products (as well as related products and services) to residential, commercial and industrial customers. The subsidiary was created by the merger of Tesla's existing battery energy storage products division with SolarCity, a solar energy company that Tesla acquired in 2016.[173] Tesla Energy's generation products include solar panels (built by other companies for Tesla), the Tesla Solar Roof (a solar shingle system) and the Tesla Solar Inverter. Other products include the Powerwall (a home energy storage device) and the Powerpack and Megapack, which are large-scale energy storage systems.[174][175][176] Tesla Energy also develops software to allow customers to monitor and control their systems.[177][178] In 2022, the company deployed solar energy systems capable of generating 348 megawatts, an increase of 3 megawatts over 2021, and deployed 6.5 gigawatt-hours of battery energy storage products, an increase of 64% over 2021.[179] Other services Tesla receives service revenue from its vehicle customers after their initial purchase; these revenues reached $1.47 billion in 2022 Q2.[180] As of August 2020, those services include vehicle servicing, charging, insurance, software upgrades, and improved connectivity. In July 2021, Tesla made Full Self-Driving available as a monthly subscription.[181] Future services which have been discussed include paying for a Wi-Fi hotspot in the car[182] and the Tesla robotaxi network.[183] Charging Supercharger network Main article: Tesla Supercharger Supercharger station in Menlo Park, New Jersey In 2012, Tesla began building a network of 480-volt fast-charging Supercharger stations. As of June 2022, Tesla operates 36,165 Superchargers in 3,971 stations worldwide[184] (an average of 9 chargers per station). The Supercharger is a proprietary direct current (DC) technology that provides up to 250 kilowatts (kW) of power.[185] All Tesla cars except the first generation Roadster come standard with hardware to charge at Superchargers.[186] The navigation software in Tesla cars can recommend the fastest route for long-distance travel, incorporating charging stops.[187] Model S and X cars ordered before January 15, 2017,[188] and between August 3, 2019,[189] and May 26, 2020,[190] received free unlimited supercharging. Model S and X cars ordered between January 15, 2017, and August 3, 2019, got 400 kWh (1,400 MJ) of free Supercharging credits per year, which provides a range of roughly 1,000 miles per year (1,600 kilometres per year).[191] Subsequent Tesla models never received free unlimited supercharging.[192] Destination charging location network "Destination Charger" in North America In 2014, Tesla launched the "Destination Charging location" network by providing chargers to hotels, restaurants, shopping centers and resorts (and other locations where Tesla owners may spend an hour or more) to provide on-site vehicle charging at twice the power of a typical home charging station.[193] Destination chargers are installed free of charge by Tesla-certified contractors; the locations originally were required to provide the electricity at no cost to their customers.[194] As of August 2022, locations with six or more destination chargers may start charging for electricity.[195] All destination chargers appear in the in-car navigation system.[196] North American Charging Standard In November 2022, Tesla renamed its previously proprietary charging connector to "North American Charging Standard" (NACS), making the specs available to other EV manufacturers. The name was criticised, as at the time of the announcement the connector was not the standard in North America, with all other automakers using the Combined Charging System (CCS) connector. Tesla has argued that it's NACS should become the connector of choice because it is more compact, it's vehicles outnumber CCS equipped vehicles by a margin of two-to-one and that there are 60% more NACS connectors installed than CCS connectors.[197][198][199][200] Software updates and upgrades Tesla vehicles' software is regularly updated over-the-air when new software and firmware versions are released. This allows the cars to remain up to date and improve after purchase.[201] Tesla also offers the option to unlock features in the car through over-the-air software upgrades after purchase. Available upgrades include basic Autopilot, Full Self Driving,[202] acceleration boost (for Model 3 owners),[203] and rear-heated seats (for Model 3 owners).[204] Connectivity All Tesla cars come with "Standard Connectivity" which provides navigation using a cellular connection, and the following only over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth: internet browsing, music streaming (with a paid subscription), and, when parked, video streaming and "caraoke".[205] "Premium Connectivity" adds cellular access to those features and also provides live traffic and satellite maps for navigation.[205][206] Vehicle servicing Tesla service strategy is to service its vehicles first through remote diagnosis and repair. If it is not possible to resolve a problem remotely, customers are referred to a local Tesla-owned service center, or a mobile technician is dispatched.[207][208] Tesla has said that it does not want to make a profit on vehicle servicing, which has traditionally been a large profit center for most auto dealerships.[209] In 2016, Tesla recommended having any Tesla car inspected every 12,500 miles or once a year, whichever comes first. In early 2019, the manual was changed to say: "your Tesla does not require annual maintenance and regular fluid changes," and instead it recommends periodic servicing of the brake fluid, air conditioning, tires and air filters.[210] Insurance On June 4, 2017, the American Automobile Association raised insurance rates for Tesla owners following a report from the Highway Loss Data Institute.[211] The report concluded that the Model S crashes 46% more often and is 50% more expensive to repair than comparable vehicles.[211] Similarly, the Model X was concluded to crash 41% more often and to be 89% more expensive to repair than similar vehicles.[211] As a result, AAA raised insurance rates on Tesla cars by 30%.[211] Tesla said that the analysis is "severely flawed and not reflective of reality", however, Tesla failed to provide any contradictory numbers.[211] Shortly thereafter, Russ Rader, the spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, confirmed the AAA's analysis and that "Teslas get into a lot of crashes and are costly to repair afterward".[212][213] The following year, an analysis of claim frequency and insurance cost data by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducted by financial research provider 24/7 Wall St. found that the Tesla Model S and Model X were the two most expensive vehicles to insure.[214] Musk stated that he expects these insurance rates will greatly decrease once driver-assist and self-driving technology become commonplace.[214] Starting in October 2017, Tesla partnered with Liberty Mutual Insurance Company to offer US customers an insurance plan designed specifically for Tesla cars.[215][216] In August 2019, this partnership was superseded by a partnership with State National Insurance,[217][218] but was initially only available to Tesla owners in California.[217] In July 2020, Musk, relying on data obtained through the partnership with State National Insurance, announced that Tesla was creating its own "major" insurance company.[219] Tesla claims the insurance uses individual vehicle data to offer personalized pricing.[219] As of January 2023, Tesla offers insurance in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Virginia.[220] Business strategy Robotic manufacturing of the Model S at the Tesla Factory in Fremont, California At the time of Tesla's founding in 2003, electric vehicles were very expensive.[221] In 2006, Elon Musk stated that Tesla's strategy was to first produce high-price, low-volume vehicles, such as sports cars, for which customers are less sensitive to price. This would allow them to progressively bring down the cost of batteries, which in turn would allow them to offer cheaper and higher volume cars.[21][222] Tesla's first vehicle, the Roadster, was low-volume (fewer than 2,500 were produced) and priced at over $100,000. The next models, the Model S and Model X, are more affordable but still luxury vehicles. The most recent models, the Model 3 and the Model Y, are priced still lower, and aimed at a higher volume market,[223][224] selling over 100,000 vehicles each quarter. Tesla continuously updates the hardware of its cars rather than waiting for a new model year, as opposed to nearly every other car manufacturer.[225] Unlike other automakers, Tesla does not rely on franchised auto dealerships to sell vehicles. Instead, the company directly sells vehicles through its website and a network of company-owned stores.[226][227] The company is the first automaker in the United States to sell cars directly to consumers.[228][229] Some jurisdictions, particularly in the United States, prohibit auto manufacturers from directly selling vehicles to consumers. In these areas, Tesla has locations that it calls galleries that the company says "educate and inform customers about our products, but such locations do not actually transact in the sale of vehicles."[230][231] In total, Tesla operates nearly 400 stores and galleries in more than 35 countries.[232] These locations are typically located in retail shopping districts, inside shopping malls, or other high-traffic areas,[227] instead of near other auto dealerships.[233][234][235] Tesla is notable for spending no money on paid advertising campaigns, unlike other automakers.[236] The Tesla Patent Wall at its headquarters was removed after the company announced its patents are part of the open source movement.[237] Tesla has a high degree of vertical integration,[238] estimated at 80% in 2016.[239] The company produces vehicle components as well as building proprietary stations where customers can charge their vehicles. Vertical integration is rare in the automotive industry, where companies typically outsource 80% of components to suppliers and focus on engine manufacturing and final assembly.[240][241] Tesla used low-cost strategy as a business approach, with which they can expand their business into a broader market by offering standard technology items.[242] Tesla generally allows its competitors to license its technology, stating that it wants to help its competitors accelerate the world's use of sustainable energy.[243] Licensing agreements include provisions whereby the recipient agrees not to file patent suits against Tesla, or to copy its designs directly.[244] Tesla retains control of its other intellectual property, such as trademarks and trade secrets to prevent direct copying of its technology.[245] Technology Tesla develops many components in-house, such as batteries, motors, and software.[239] Vehicle batteries Tesla vehicle chassis used in Model S and X, with the battery visible Tesla was the first automaker to use batteries containing thousands of small, cylindrical, lithium-ion commodity cells like those used in consumer electronics.[246][247][248] Tesla uses a version of these cells that is designed to be cheaper to manufacture and lighter than standard cells by removing some safety features; according to Tesla, these features are redundant because of the advanced thermal management system and an intumescent chemical in the battery to prevent fires.[249] But here’s the biggest problem with dividend stocks no one talks about… You often have to spend a ton of money upfront to be able to enjoy the dividends — which are typically months away at the earliest… Not to mention the fact that many “safe” dividend stocks lost money last year just like other stocks.
