Nikola Tesla, one of Colorado's famous residents, always believed that the gasoline engine made no sense.

Nikola Tesla spent one of his most productive years in Colorado Springs.

Tesla Motor's original business plan had a copy of a letter from Nikola Tesla from the late 19th century talking about the challenges inherent in gasoline engines and the promise of the electric engine.

At Tesla, we don't go into a community and think we're going to sell one or two cars.

People always ask what kind of restaurant we have, and it's like a five-minute conversation. The short answer is, 'We're creating community through food.' That's the big idea we had, the product we're exporting. And it has paid off.

Tesla is becoming a real car company.
