Tesla is one of the biggest names in the automotive industry. From the slick designs of their cars to their promise of a renewable future, Tesla has taken the world by storm. Today, the mere mention of Tesla instantly evokes the image of one man: Elon Musk, the closest real-life equivalent to Tony Stark. You may have heard of him from his plans to take humans to Mars to colonize the planet, or from his Boring Company, which plans to build a hyperloop between New York and Washington DC.
