Tesla Inc. is an American multinational automotive and clean energy company. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, it designs, manufactures and sells battery electric vehicles (BEVs), stationary battery energy storage devices from home to grid-scale, solar panels and solar shingles, and related products and services.
Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. Its name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, Elon Musk led Tesla’s first funding round and became the company’s chairman; in 2008, he was named Chief Executive Officer.
Tesla’s First Car
In 2008, the company began production of its first car model, the Roadster sports car, followed by the Model S sedan in 2012, the Model X SUV in 2015, the Model 3 sedan in 2017, the Model Y crossover in 2020, the Tesla Semi truck in 2022 and the Cyber-truck pickup truck in 2023.
Tesla is one of the world’s most valuable companies in terms of market capitalization. Starting in July 2020, it has been the world’s most valuable automaker. From October 2021 to March 2022, Tesla was a trillion-dollar company, the seventh U.S. company to be so, and has been so again since November 2024. In 2023, the company led the battery electric vehicle market, with 19.9% share. Also in 2023, the company was ranked 69th in the Forbes Global 2000.
Tesla and India have engaged on-and-off for years, but the carmaker had stayed away from the South Asian nation over concerns on high import duties. India’s now reduced basic customs duty on high-end cars priced above $40,000 from 110% to 70%.
India’s EV Market
While India’s EV market is still nascent compared to China’s; India offers an avenue for Tesla to check slowing sales after it posted its first annual drop in EV sales in over a decade. India’s electric car sales neared 100,000 units last year compared to China’s 11 million.
Tesla’s India intent follows PM Modi’s meeting with Musk and President Donald Trump in Washington last week. Trump later said PM Modi agreed to begin negotiations to address the US trade deficit boost US military purchases, including steps to ultimately supply F-35 fighter jets.
Although Musk is a key member of Trump’s cabinet, the president didn’t say if the tech billionaire met Modi as a CEO of private companies or in his role with DOGE team. Musk’s role in Trump’s government has blurred the lines between his business and political interests. Last month, Italy confirmed talks with Musk’s SpaceX for a deal to provide secure telecommunications for the nation’s government, a development that followed Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni meeting with then President-elect Trump in Florida.
