Much like many of the days we’ve had this June in Metro Vancouver, it was a rainy day on June 28th, 1971, when one of the world’s most well-known names in the automotive industry would enter the world. What no one knew then was that when he started his life in humble beginnings in the capital of South Africa, Pretoria, is that he’d soon become the wealthiest man globally just 40 years later.
Elon’s amazing launch into riches and fame wasn’t simply because of his involvement with various business ventures. It was largely in part due to his pivotal role in designing the Tesla line of vehicles. Although he wasn’t the founder of Tesla vehicles, he was an architect and on the later models after investing vastly into the company.
Who Created Tesla?
The original founders of Tesla were Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, but Elon Musk quickly made it his own after becoming chairman of their board when he invested substantially in 2004.
Of approximately $6.5 million in funding that was used to create the Tesla Roadster, Musk contributed $6.3, and then became the CEO of the company just 2 years later. Elon Musk was instrumental in helping facilitate both the design and production of the Tesla line of vehicles.
And while Eberhard and Tarpenning were the true creators of Tesla, Musk’s innovative foresight in what the company could truly be propelled it into automotive fame.
Elon Musk was a huge benefactor for many other various technological advancements with companies like OpenAI, Neuralink, and of course, the Musk Foundation, which donates to scientific research and sciences.
It’s his involvement in all of the most technologically advanced areas of research that continues to keep Tesla at the forefront of not only technology, but style, power, and the EV revolution.
After several years of financial struggle and various conflicts between Musk, Tarpenning, and Eberhard, Eberhard was fired from the company and Elon Musk quickly took over.
Naturally, a lawsuit ensued and Eberhard as well as 2 other people accepted a settlement that was offered by Musk and his legal team. However, the true innovation of the Tesla Motor Company comes from Elon Musk and his genius forward-thinking approach to everything automotive.
While many entrepreneurs have scoffed at Musk for taking over a company he didn’t actually create, there are many others than applaud him for creating something much greater than Eberhard and Tarpenning ever could on their own.
In the automotive world, it’s creativity and innovation that advance a company, not just an idea. And Musk has contributed both to Tesla in a very major way.
Does the Tesla Company Only Make Cars?
For many people in Metro Vancouver, when you mention the name Tesla, the first thing you think of is the Tesla line of vehicles. And while Tesla Motors is a largely popular automaker today, the name Tesla applies to so much more than just vehicles.
The Tesla Company Is Also Responsible for:
- Megapack batteries
- Green energy software for use both in and out of the automotive industry
- Artificial intelligence research, software, and construction
- Grid-scale battery storage
- Solar roof tiles
- Solar panels
Nevertheless, Tesla is the frontrunner in all things EV. Particularly since the introduction of their self-driving software which recently collected a whopping $1.3 million.
While it has always been a dream of many automakers to have vehicles run autonomously, Tesla was the first company to do it, thanks to Musk’s innovations and extensive knowledge in the AI technology industry.
Tesla continues to be the leader in green energy and artificial intelligence technology, which will only help further the company as time goes on. This is why as much as their competitors don’t like it, Tesla is here to stay.
