AC Propulsion and Tesla Motors
In the late 90s and early 2000s AC Propulsion created their fanciest car to date. The T0 could go 250 miles on a single charge so this is where we're gonna meet one of the original founders of Tesla Motors. In 2003 a California engineer named JB Strouble was then tinkering around with EVs himself. He met Musk to ask for funding for a car project he was working on. Soon after that Strouble brought Musk by the AC Propulsion Office to see the T0. At the time he was already running SpaceX and trying to colonize Mars remember this is early in early 2000s.
