Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) is a company specialized in manufacturing electric vehicles and powetrain components for electric cars. It gained popularity with the release of the first fully electric sports car, the Tesla Roadster. Later another success of the company was the Tesla Model S, a fully electric luxury sedan.

If Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) succeeds in accomplishing its goals, probably in the future, putting fuel in the tank of your car will not longer be required, since electric vehicles are much more efficient than those with regular engines relying on internal combustion. Tesla uses lithium-ion batteries for their high energy density.

Still, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) remains a leader in the niche of electric cars.
