The company was founded, in July 2003, by engineers Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, in San Carlos, California. The company is named after Austrian-American inventor, physicist, and mechanical/electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.

However, the cars will not be available until 2011, at the earliest. Officials with Telsa hope to initially produce 20,000 Model S sedans each year.
