Tesla is a leading brand that has passed the classic brand of cars. Electric cars feel extremely different and are safe for the environment. The Tesla facilities have a great german influence. Auto drive in Tesla cars is very intelligent for it to drive on its own but it is still needed for drivers to be aware of their surroundings. Elon's story is similar to David and Goliath. The employees are trailed behind the factory to be close to work. A passing employee has opened up and said that they work 12 hours a day, 7 to 6 days a week. The employee had to quit because he kept having work-related injuries from the constant labor. Elon Musk constantly refused interviews or questions to avoid accusations. Tesla vehicles are built by many Germany influenced companies and suppliers.

Everyone should be prepared for when their car breaks down because it can happen at any time and any place. What will you do when your car breaks down in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere? You don't want to be stuck somewhere helpless because you didn't prepare for it to happen. Even if you maintain your vehicle really well, you should always carry items such as water, clothing, flashlight, etc. Remember you can only survive 3 hours without shelter in extremely cold conditions, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food.
