Tes­la Motors designs and sells elec­tric cars that break the com­pro­mise between per­for­mance and effi­cien­cy, com­bin­ing world-class auto­mo­tive design and Sil­i­con Val­ley tech­nol­o­gy with an inno­v­a­tive sales and sup­port strat­e­gy. The com­pa­ny’s first car is an all-elec­tric road­ster with excep­tion­al per­for­mance, mileage, and range, and with zero emis­sions. Tes­la’s patent­ed and pro­pri­etary tech­nolo­gies change the auto­mo­tive ener­gy equa­tion. In addi­tion to DBL Part­ners, investors include Van­tage Point Ven­ture Part­ners, Tech­nol­o­gy Part­ners, Val­or Equi­ty Part­ners, Drap­er Fish­er Jurvet­son, Daim­ler and Elon Musk.
