Tesla signifies more than an electric vehicle. . .

“Many consumers perceive Tesla as a leading-edge, high tech, environmentally progressive brand driven by a charismatic leader who not only builds cars and crossovers, but also sends rockets into space and is a global industrial visionary. That combination is hard to beat and has gotten the attention of the entire global auto industry.”  –Tom Libby, associate director, automotive industry analysis, IHS Markit
