Tesla Motors is an automotive company mainly based in the United States. It was founded in 2003 by two engineers named Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning (How BIG is Tesla? (Bigger Than Mitsubishi Motors!), May 20,2015). It designs, produces and manufactures premium electric cars, and also designs products which have been produced with a vision to make more sustainable and long lasting technology.
