The first fully electric sports car that Tesla launched as part of its large Tesla motor cars program was the Tesla Roadster. The Roadster was the first all electric vehicle that could be termed as highway capable. The Roadster was the first vehicle to use lithium-ion battery cells. Further, the Roadster could travel over 200 miles or 320 km per charge.
The Tesla motor cars have been well-accepted in the market. Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhand established Tesla motor cars in July 2003. Elon Musk joined the board of Tesla Motors in February 2004. Musk was planning to commercialize electrical vehicles even during his college days. He wanted to take the electric cars to the masses as an alternate to gas and fuel cars to ensure a cleaner environment.
Musk took a very active role in developing the first electric car for Tesla Motors and got himself deeply involved in the design of Tesla Roadster. Musk insisted that the Tesla motor cars should have carbon fiber bodies. He also concentrated on designing components suitable for the electric car, ranging from power electronics modules to headlamps, along with several styling cues.
The goal of Musk and Tesla Motors was to create affordable electric cars for mass markets to reduce fuel and gas consumption. When Musk completed the design of the Tesla Roadster in 2006, Mikhail Gorbachev presented the product design award of Golden Green 2006 to him. Musk was also instrumental in raising the necessary finance for Tesla motor cars production through several rounds of external finances.
The analysts noted that the luxury sedan car market gained 10.4% from the beginning of 2013 until May. They observed that this figure would be just 0.8% if the Model S sales were excluded in this period. According to them, the strict regulatory provisions for zero emission in the United States as well as many other countries have been boosting sales of electric cars and Tesla would be a major gainer.
However, the Tesla motor cars would not be abandoning its prototype, the Tesla Roadster completely. It plans to reintroduce the Roadster in 2014 but it would be based on an altered and shortened architecture version that Tesla has developed for its latest Model S, a huge success.
