AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo recently visited The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles to check out their exhibit called “Inside Tesla: Supercharging the Electric Revolution.” The exhibit traces the company’s story from fledgling startup to EV juggernaut and explores the range of its products, the breadth of its manufacturing capabilities, and its irrefutable impact on the modern transportation landscape. Today, no company is more closely identified with the electric vehicle (EV) than Tesla, Inc. Tesla’s vehicles are a ubiquitous sight on the highways of Los Angeles, and Tesla ownership continues to grow throughout North America and around the world. The company’s introduction of reliable, attractive, and technologically advanced EVs—along with an efficient new infrastructure for powering them—has prompted the general public and industry professionals alike to reconsider the long-dismissed promise of alternative power.
