Tesla, Inc. is an American automaker, energy storage company, and solar panel manufacturer based in Palo Alto, California. Currently, the company produces two models of plug-in electric vehicles. Model S (luxury sedan) and Model X (crossover SUV). Tesla's ultimate goal is to make eclectic vehicles affordable to everyone, this goal will be realized next year when it releases its newest vehicle, the Model 3. Model 3 has a base price of US$35,000, before any governmental rebates. It will be shipped to buyers in July 2017. The main Teslas automobile manufacturing plant is in Fremont, California. YES, Tesla Inc. mainly, produces in USA and after new giga-factory is complete, 95 percent of the parts contained in Tesla vehicles will be made in the United States (something to be proud of).

To help to finance the Model 3 production, Tesla issued common stock and convertible bonds in March 2017 to raise approximately $1.37 billion in cash. Tesla is also using some of the common stock and bond proceeds to grow its recently acquired solar business (SolarCity Inc.) and to supplement other parts of its business.
