Ultimate Tesla Challenge

The first car this company sold was a British sports car with the engine taken out, and the company nearly died before it built anything of its own. It borrowed $465 million from the American taxpayer and repaid the loan nine years early, with interest. Ninety verified questions across ten themed parts — the roadster, the saloon, the battery, the charging network built in secret, the tent in a car park and the car past the orbit of Mars.

Q47 · PART 6 · PRODUCTION HELL
The car was meant to be called the Model E. It is not. Why?
The company applied for Model E in 2013. A rival opposed the filing, citing an earlier agreement, and the application was abandoned. The range was meant to spell S-E-X-Y; it reads S, 3, X, Y.
