Legacy automakers are now trying to catch up thanks to the major impact Tesla’s products have had.
Let’s explore Tesla’s most revolutionary contributions to the automotive industry.
Accelerated Mass EV Adoption
There were alreadyEVs before Tesla.
Before Tesla, electric vehicles were seen as cumbersome to use, slow, and lacking range.
Another major critique against EVs was the lack of a national charging infrastructure.

Before Tesla, many people associated electric vehicles with the Toyota Prius hybrid.

When the Tesla Model X launched, it featured the fanciest doors ever outfitted on an SUV.
From the start, it was clear that Teslas were designed to be more than mere transportation appliances.

Electric vehicles weren’t renowned for their acceleration figures, especially hybrids from Toyota and Honda.
The Model 3 in particular has won the hearts of car enthusiasts the world over with its great performance.
Even the Cybertruck, a heavy pickup truck, promises extreme performance figures and good handling.

Provides Free Over-the-Air Updates
Tesla offers over-the-air updates to keep your vehicle up to date with the latest functionality.
This isn’t the case yet, as Teslas require driver intervention even when FSD is active.
The result is a massive charging connection that offers charging speeds up to 250 kW.

Tesla states that there are over 40,000 Supercharger locations across the globe.
In this case, it’s Elon Musk’s Twitter account.
The best example of this is Dog Mode, which is one ofTesla’s coolest climate control features.
This punch in of interaction with customers sets Tesla apart.
Buying a Tesla is as easy as going online, configuring your vehicle, and then placing the order.
Regardless, other car manufacturers began hopping on the big-screen bandwagon, and the rest is history.
It’s still innovating to this day.
