The name of this company was chosen in honor of Nikola Tesla, the famous inventor and engineer. Tesla's initial goal was to create high-performance electric vehicles that could be a serious alternative to traditional fossil-fueled vehicles. A) Elon Musk and entering Tesla Elon Musk, the entrepreneur and founder of companies such as PayPal and SpaceX, joined Tesla as the main investor in 2004. With an initial investment of $7.5 million, he became the chairman of the board and later played a key role in the company's growth and development. 2. The first product: Roadster Tesla entered the market in 2008 with the introduction of Roadster, its first all-electric car. Roadster was able to cover a distance of 320 kilometers on a single charge, which was a great achievement at the time. In addition to high performance, this car showed that electric cars can be fast, attractive and efficient. Roadster's primary goals: • Showcase the capabilities of electric vehicles. • Reducing dependence on fossil fuels. • Attracting capital to develop future models. 3. Development of new models After the success of the Roadster, Tesla decided to enter a wider market. This decision led to the production of models that each represented an important step in the evolution of electric cars: a) Model S (2012) Model S was a high-range luxury sedan with modern design, powerful performance and innovative features such as self-driving system and It provided remote software updates. b) Model X (2015) This SUV with "Falcon" (winged) doors offered a combination of luxury and family performance. c) Model 3 (2017) Model 3 was designed with the aim of providing an affordable electric car for the general public. This car helped Tesla become a major player in the global car market. d) Model Y (2020) Model Y, the crossover version of Model 3, was designed for an audience that was looking for a car with more space and a competitive price. 4. Entering new fields In addition to car production, Tesla has also had extensive activities in the following fields: • Energy storage systems: production of household batteries such as Powerwall and large energy storage systems. • Solar City: design and installation of solar panels. • Fast charging network (Supercharger Network): Creating a global network for fast charging of electric cars. 5. Innovation and challenges Tesla has always faced challenges such as production problems, lack of capital and competition from traditional car manufacturers. However, Elon Musk's constant innovation and ambitious vision have made the company one of the leaders in the automotive industry. Part Two: Designs and Goals of Cybertruck 1. Introduction of Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck was unveiled in November 2019. This electric van quickly attracted worldwide attention with its unusual and futuristic design. The Cybertruck is a combination of high performance, robustness and unique design that aims to not only provide an efficient electric van, but to change the public perception of electric vehicles. 2. Cybertruck design features a) Cybertruck's steel body is made of highly resistant stainless steel, which is the same material used in SpaceX spacecraft. This design: • Has extraordinary strength against impact and environmental damage. • It turns the car into a durable product suitable for harsh conditions. b) Angular and minimal design One of the most prominent features of Cybertrack is the completely angular design without curvature. This design: • is inspired by sci-fi cars. • It has a unique appearance that is easily remembered. c) Armor Glass These resistant glasses are designed to withstand strong impacts. Although one of the windows was broken during the initial unveiling, this feature is generally considered one of Tesla's Cybertruck innovations. 3. Performance and Capabilities a) Power and Traction Cybertruck will be available in several different versions with different engine power. Its three-engine version has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km in 2.9 seconds and tow heavy loads up to 6350 kg. b) Range and battery Cybertruck battery offers a range between 400 and 800 km, depending on the version, which is suitable for long trips and heavy use. c) The cargo area of Cybertruck, which is known as "Vant", is designed with high capacity and complete coverage. This space is ideal for carrying tools, heavy equipment and even recreational use. 4. Objectives of Cybertruck a) Competing with traditional pickups Tesla with Cybertruck intends to challenge the market of traditional pickups which is dominated by brands like Ford and Chevrolet. Cybertruck offers a combination of efficiency, robustness and innovation that traditional competitors lack. b) Promoting electric vehicles in the pickup truck segment Pickup truck
