The History of Tesla in 5 Minutes

Everything you need to know about the history of Tesla, including Elon Musk's vision for the future of the iconic electric car company.

This extremely fast-paced animation shows why the company was formed, its successes and struggles, and how Tesla was able to pass Ford in market value just 7 years after the company's IPO.

Then, we outline the ambitious vision and strategy for the company going forward, and what Elon Musk hopes to achieve with new models (semi trucks, transit vehicles, etc.), multiple battery gigafactories, AI, and other bold plans.

Tesla achieved their goal from where I'm standing. I live in Central FL. I have a model 3 and a house both powered by Tesla solar panels. This all happens as I see Elon launches his roaster to space on the Falcon Heavy in my backyard. I feel like I'm living in the future....

Have to say, I've followed Tesla for 2 years daily and I love the fact that you guys distilled a lot of the information that is all over the place into one nice video. Well written and animated!

That 465 million in government grants was over the span of many years, and has been paid back in full (plus interest!)

Tesla will achieve their goals. Why? Because the alternative is just soooo.... bad for the world and the future. Tesla cannot be allowed to fail.

I don't get why GM destroyed the cars instead of selling it for a lower price 🤔

I began following SpaceX since it's Falcon 1 - launch 2 - 21 March 2007, while recovering from a heart operation. It gave me hope, made me a futurist, and the modern internet access only expanded my horizons.
This weekend my son in law rented a Model X (the first Tesla I've seen Live) I had 2 rides in it... I'm moving house and had twisted my back, 10+ minute ride in the back seat was all it took to ease the pain. The seat cushions are made for people. and the heating helped. If I could afford to I would buy the seats for a living room sofa...

What to do when you cant get a job:

-Normal people: go to college and than keep trying get a job.
-Elon Musk: start a space company

Every other major car company is now releasing electric based vehicles, with even some related tech, such as hydrogen fuel cells, making large leaps over the last decade; Tesla has already achieved the goal Elon Musk set out for it.

Love the video and animations and style. May I ask you what program are you using? Flash? How long does it take to do one? Hope you will make more!

[yashodeepchikte]

which software/application has this person used for creating the animations especially the vector images

[syedmuaz]

This is truly inspiring, it makes science and technology cool again.

[fruitbag]

I musk ask, why did this take such elon time to make?

[pawneko]

Still I can't imagine for the last 11 years ago I read the ensiklopedia and I can see the uninteresting sight of car plane with solar and now you can have this sexy car, love internet love humanity, sorry for bad English.
