About the Organisation

TESLA MOTORS was founded in 2003 by a group of intrepid Silicon Valley engineers who set out to prove that electric vehicles could be awesome.

Contrary to popular belief, the Tesla Roadster only shares 7% of components with the Lotus Elise. The majority of components for European models are currently assembled at the wind-powered Lotus factory in the UK. Tesla initially approached Lotus Engineering because of their knowledge of lightweight sportscar design.
