Tesla's popularity is likely due to the recent surge in demand for electric vehicles, with many countries around the world phasing out petrol & diesel cars in favour of low-emission EVs - and Tesla is arguably the world's most recognisable electric car brand.

As well as electric vehicles such as the Model 3, Model S, Model X and Model Y, the company also produces battery storage, solar panels, solar roof tiles and other renewable energy products.
