Read the Case Study below and answer Q.1.1 - Q.1.3.Tesla was founded in 2003 by a group of engineers who wanted to prove that people didn't needto compromise to drive electric - that electric vehicles can be better, quicker and more fun to drivethan gasoline cars.

Tesla believes the faster the world stops relying on fossilfuels and moves towards a zero-emission future, the better.Launched in 2008, the Roadster unveiled Tesla's cutting-edge battery technology and electricpowertrain. From there, Tesla designed the world's first ever premium all-electric sedan from theground up - Model S - which has become the best car in its class in every category. Combiningsafety, performance, and efficiency, Model S has reset the world's expectations for the car of the21st century with the longest range of any electric vehicle, over-the-air software updates that makeit better over time, and a record 0-60 mph acceleration time of 2.28 seconds as measured by MotorTrend. In 2015, Tesla expanded its product line with Model X, the safest, quickest and most capablesport utility vehicle in history that holds 5-star safety ratings across every category from theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Completing CEO Elon Musk's "Secret Master Plan,"in 2016, Tesla introduced Model 3, a low-priced, high-volume electric vehicle that began productionin 2017. Soon after, Tesla unveiled the safest, most comfortable truck ever - Tesla Semi - which isdesigned to save owners at least $200,000 over a million miles based on fuel costs alone. In 2019,Tesla unveiled Model Y, a mid-size SUV, with seating for up to seven, and Cybertruck, which willhave better utility than a traditional truck and more performance than a sports car.Tesla vehicles are produced at its factory in Fremont, California, and Gigafactory Shanghai.
