The company, formed in 2003, is named for inventor Nikola Tesla, an early pioneer in the field of electricity.

Tesla was a lot more than a simple inventor/pioneer.

If they really wanted to be true to the Tesla name, they’d have the car powered by the magnetic field coming off the roadside power lines.

Tesla was one of the greatest inventors of all time. He invented the multi phase A/C motor!

The basic design has not changed much in 75 years. It was a giant leap from the DC motor it is hard to explain.

The high voltage transformer in all CRT displays are modified Tesla coils. Before this making high voltage was almost imposable.

We had DC power lines with short range and no easy way of changing voltage before Tesla proved that A/C was better.

I hope the Tesla motor car company does well and I’m sure they will with all the 2008 cars sold and I bet when people start seeing them around many more will be sold.

Thy do plan on making a lower priced 4 door electric but the coup need to sell well first.

They have a nice website.

"Tesla was a lot more than a simple inventor/pioneer. "

Are you referring to his heavy-metal band from the '90's, "Tesla"? You're right! That guy could really shred! ( the foregoing is attempt at humor)
