What is your concern with the carmaker's name? Branded as an 'all electric' carmaker, so a name that evokes electricity seems fairly appropriate. Does feel a bit odd to be using a dead mans name for your company though.
Even still, two wrongs don't make a right.
- amelius 9y agoI guess it is a matter of taste. In any case, it should be impossible to trademark a name like "Tesla", because it is a common term in electrical engineering and transportation (Tesla wasn't the first company making electric cars).
- cr0sh 9y ago> so a name that evokes electricity seems fairly appropriate Only if the car was (somehow) powered via alternating current (bonus points if via wireless energy transfer, for obvious reasons). I'm actually not sure what the motor tech in the Tesla vehicles are; likely some kind of 3-phase BLDC (or maybe synchronous AC). So I guess in a way, it is "AC" at some point in the powertrain. :)
