Tesla Electric Cars - This is Serious
Tesla Model S
Tesla, one of the few electric car manufacturers that has produced more than just nice promises, has sold 9% share stake to Daimler. This news comes as a big surprise considering the volatile situation in car industry. It is estimated that Daimler has parted with $50 million to acquire a seat on Tesla’s director board.
After this successful deal Tesla will be worth more than half a billion dollars, which is remarkable for a company that hasn’t manufactured a lot of electric cars.
Now Tesla is looking forward to solve the problem with delivering the Roadsters and developing the new Model S electric car.
Only one fifth of pre-ordered Roadster has been delivered so far. Another 1000 of Model S pre-orders have been received.
The owner of Tesla, Elon Musk who became a billionaire founding PayPal, has invested his own money in the company and puts his brilliant reputation at stake in securing that the promises is kept.
Daimler is very keen on broadening their horizon. They are manufacturing an electric car of their own - Smart Electric and it is expected that Tesla will share its expertise or even make parts for Smart.
All this - the impressive pre-order book of Tesla and Daimler’s interest - shows you that the electric car is no longer a concept, it is very real and the first manufactured models are roaming the streets already.
