Tesla (2004)

Musk has been investing in Tesla since 2004, and the company's goal is "to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." Tesla's first e-car - the Roadster - was launched in 2008. The company now has several models on offer.

The company also made headlines with its stock market value. This is worth more than Volkswagen, Daimler and BMW combined. In June 2020, the market value was more than 180 billion dollars.

As described above, Tesla is also coming to Germany this year and wants to manufacture electric cars in Brandenburg. The ZDF format 'Frontal21' has accompanied the construction of the new Tesla plant in Berlin for months with the camera and documented how politics and authorities come to their limits. Everything that normally takes years now has to be approved in just a few months. The article is available here.

Tesla also manufactures electricity storage products.
