In this blog post, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how to protect and maintain the exterior and interior of your Tesla.
Founded in 2003, Tesla Motors has reinvented the entire driving experience. Founder Elon Musk envisions Tesla as a technology company first and an automaker second, aimed at offering previously-expensive electric cars at affordable prices. He appears to have done precisely that.
After 17 years in the market, Tesla now ranks as the world's best-selling plug-in and electric car. In 2020, the company surpassed the 1 million mark of electric cars produced. The Model 3 ranks as the world's all-time best-selling plug-in electric car, with more than half-a-million sold.
So if you have bought a Tesla and are now wondering how to take care of it, look no further. In this post, we answer some of the most common questions we get about Tesla.
