Interesting facts about the #TSLA (Tesla)

Before turning into a widely recognized brand, Tesla (TSLA) was founded by two Silicon Valley engineers, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Though Tesla is now almost inseparable from the image of Elon Musk, he was not a founder of the company – he only joined it in 2004. Since then, the ambitious start-up has been growing substantially. The name of the company underlines the idea of electric vehicles, which is closely associated with celebrated scientist Nikola Tesla.

Although electric cars seem a better alternative for our future, they are not entirely reliable. Many people are concerned about lithium, a necessary element for batteries used in such kinds of cars. When being mined, lithium affects the environment just as negatively. Besides, it'll lead to a mineral collapse if everyone had an electric car. On the other hand, a crude oil collapse is just as likely to happen.

One thing is certain: regardless of the air pollution level, Tesla's customers will be safe. According to the company's site, they were inspired by hospital air filtration systems, which led to them developing HEPA filtration system and embedding it into Model S and Model X. The device promises to be so effective that one could survive a military bio attack if they remained in the car.

Though the car’s safety is the number one priority, the same cannot be said about Elon Musk's business reputation. To skyrocket stock prices, Musk tweeted that he wanted to take the company private at $420. It made people buy TSLA shares as if it was Black Friday. However, Musk didn't do anything. His tweet was obviously just a way to stimulate prices, and so it did, but with some consequences. For example, it was paying the $20 million fine and appointing new independent directors to the company's board.

When it comes to any company, not just Tesla, buy shares relying on your hunch, not social manipulations.
