I’ve been seeing lots of Tesla cars around town. My brother just ordered his second as well as his son John. Did you know The Tesla Car Company was named in honor of Nikola Tesla, the Serbian inventor and engineer who developed the first modern alternating current (AC) motor?
On an early version of the Tesla Motors website, the company leaders stated: “Without Tesla’s vision and brilliance, our car wouldn’t be possible.” Co-founder Eberhard selected the name after months of struggling for an idea that his then-girlfriend thought sounded appropriate. When the two went to dinner at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland, he suggested Tesla as the company name. She approved, as did Tarpenning, who immediately secured the domain name TeslaMotors.com. The company incorporated on July 1, 2003.
Nikola Tesla is undoubtedly one of the most important inventors that have existed on our planet. Curiously, although he is one of the most important and scientific inventors in the history of civilization, he is also the most absent in history books.
Interviews with Tesla are extremely rare, but the ones we have available offer a great understanding of the mind of a brilliant scientist whose goals were to give people around the world unlimited free power
One of the interviews to which we have access, is by journalist John Smith, leaving for posterity one of his phrases: “Everything is Light. In one of its rays is the destiny of the nations, each nation has its own ray in that great source of light, which we see, like the Sun. And remember, there is no man who has existed and who has not died!
Here is the interview that the scientist Nikola Tesla gave to the magazine “Immortality” in his laboratory in Colorado Springs in the year 1899
