Tesla has made significant strides in the 20 years since its formation. From its initial foray into electric vehicles with the Lotus Elise-based Roadster to its current status as the world’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer, it’s truly remarkable to see the company’s growth and evolution over the years. The family picture, showcasing every vehicle in the brand’s lineup, which was recently shared to X (formally Twitter) by Tesla, serves as a perfect illustration of the brand’s remarkable development.
The image shows a new Tesla Semi carrying all of the brand’s current models. These consist of a red Model S at the front, a white Model 3 behind it, a blue Model Y, and then a brand new Cybertruck. On the lower level of the trailer is a black Model 3, a white Model X, and a grey Model 3. The only car missing is the long-promised second-generation Roadster but that car has yet to reach the production line.

While the Roadster was Tesla’s first attempt at building an appealing and fun electric vehicle, it was the Model S that really pushed the brand into the mainstream. It hit the production line in June 2012 and was followed up by the Model X in 2015, the company’s first SUV. While these two vehicles sold well, they were (and still are) quite expensive, putting them out of the price range of many car shoppers. Then came the Model 3.
Although Tesla experienced a few stumbling blocks in bringing the Model 3 to reality, and almost went bankrupt in the process, it quickly became the firm’s best-selling model and the best-selling electric vehicle on earth. The Model Y then started to reach the hands of customers in early 2020 and due to its slightly larger shape, has proven to be even more popular than the Model 3.
Of all current Tesla models, it is perhaps the Cybertruck that has been getting the most attention recently. It was unveiled in November 2019 but Tesla only recently amped up production of Cybertruck prototypes before customer deliveries begin.
