The story behind Tesla.

An American battery-electric vehicle and energy company using company-operated sales and service channels.

A sports car demonstrates the electric proposition

The original Roadster entered regular production in March 2008 after its 2006 prototype reveal. Tesla used a performance car to demonstrate that electric propulsion could be desirable as well as efficient. Its later vehicles changed packaging and scale, but the Roadster established the company’s first production product.

From premium vehicles to larger-volume families

Model S and Model X broadened Tesla into sedan and SUV roles. Model 3 and Model Y then brought a more compact sedan and crossover architecture. Tesla’s manuals preserve those model generations, giving a firmer chronology than treating each software or trim update as a wholly new vehicle.

The current retail range and future programs

Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck are the consumer production families represented here. Tesla’s other programs include commercial trucks and autonomy-focused vehicles; a reservation page is not evidence that a future sports car is already delivered. Model S and X belong in the historical account, with remaining inventory distinguished from ongoing production.
