The Tesla Company Logo

What is the meaning of a Tesla?

Not referring to the Tesla Company Logo – The tesla (symbol T) is a derived unit of magnetic flux density (informally, magnetic field strength) in the International System of Units.  One tesla is equal to one weber per square metre.

But what is the actual meaning of the TESLA company logo?

Via Twitter in January 2017 – Elon Musk confirmed that the Tesla company logo is the cross section of an electric motor.   It has been long speculated that Tesla’s logo is not just a fancy ‘T’, but that it actually represents the cross-section of an electric motor first designed by the company’s namesake, physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla.

Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to prove that people that electric vehicles can be better, quicker and more fun to drive than petrol cars and all this didn’t need to be compromise just because they were electric vehicles.

The Meaning of the Tesla name?

Founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning named their company after Nikola Tesla because while the company’s engineers have changed the design of the motors and they are AC induction motors, the design is still based on work created by Nikola Tesla over 100 years ago.
