Yes. Tesla Motors is an American auto manufacturer and energy storage company headquartered in California.
Tesla obtained a lot of attention and free publicity when it produced the first electric sports car, the Roadster. It was the first electric car to implement the use of lithium-ion batteries, as well as the first electric model to have a cruising range of over 200 miles.
As per Investopedia.com, Tesla manufactures the basic electric components of the car – the electric motor, the battery pack and the charger – but other parts come from suppliers spread across the United States, Europe and Asia.
In latest buzz, Tesla is giving all its new cars the hardware for “full self-driving capabilities,” including 8 cameras with 360-degree viewing at up to 820 feet of distance, as well as 12 ultrasonic sensors that can detect both hard and soft objects. A new forward-facing radar helps see through rain, fog, and dust. Find out more at The Verge.
