Tesla: The Future of Cars

Gabriella Parrella, Editor-In-Chief

Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers that wanted to prove that drivers didn’t need to compromise to drive electric cars. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has a net worth of $20.1 billion, proving the successful nature of Tesla cars. The company itself has a projected net worth of $700 billion by 2025.

Today, Tesla not only builds completely electric cars but also an infinitely scalable clean energy generation and storage products. Tesla believes in a zero-emission future, in hopes of saving the environment. Teslas can be charged by being plugged into Superchargers. Superchargers can be bought and used at home or used on the road at one of the 10,000 superchargers worldwide. Tesla has been increasingly growing, opening six new locations every week.

The cars are built around the driver. There’s a 15-inch touch screen that controls all features in the car. The car can even be turned on by the driver’s smartphone. The all-glass roof gives a sense of openness for everyone in the car. Teslas have 360-degree motion detection for maximum visibility. There are 12 ultrasonic sensors to predict and prevent potential crashes and collisions from up to 160 meters. The newest model yet is Tesla’s Model 3. The car has carbon fiber spoilers that improve

stability at all speeds, ensuring total control. The Model 3 can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds.
