Why Teslas Drones is Not Associated with Tesla: Clearing Up the Confusion

In recent months, our company, Teslas Drones, has found itself in an unexpected predicament. We’ve received a significant number of inquiries and comments from the public who are confused about our name and our alleged connection with Elon Musk's 'Tesla'. Elon Musk’s name has become a focal point in various discussions, particularly in politics and technology. Therefore, we want to clarify that Teslas Drones is not related to Tesla, Inc., the electric vehicle manufacturer. Our name pays homage to our founder, Archer Tesla, who drew inspiration from and is named after the extraordinary scientist Nikola Tesla.

The Confusion: Why the Mix-Up Occurs


The confusion surrounding our name largely stems from its similarities to Tesla, Inc. The prominent media coverage of Elon Musk leads many to mistakenly connect the two brands.


It’s easy to see how a casual observer might conflate our name with Tesla. However, we want to reassure our customers that we are a team of passionate drone enthusiasts dedicated to innovation and not influenced by corporate politics. The drone community is diverse and vibrant, and we aim to contribute positively to it.


Keeping Politics Out of the Conversation

One of the core principles of Teslas Drones is our pledge to keep politics out of our operations. We understand that political discussions can be divisive. That’s why we work hard to create a welcoming environment for everyone interested in drone technology.


Our commitment to innovation and ethical practices remains steadfast, allowing us to keep our focus on what truly matters: advancing drone technology. While Elon Musk may dominate headlines, we dominate quality and authenticity in the drone world. We encourage our customers to engage deeply in the drone community—whether through aerial photography, mapping, or delivery—without any political baggage.


The Legacy of Nikola Tesla: Why Our Name Matters

Our name, inspired by Nikola Tesla, represents more than just a tribute. Tesla was a pioneer in electricity and magnetism, whose inventions have deeply influenced modern technology. His work has paved the way for countless advancements, including wireless communication and alternating current, which powers homes around the globe. Nikola Tesla is also the first person in the world to patent wirelessly controlled drones.


Just as Nikola Tesla inspired innovation in his lifetime, Archer Tesla aims to carry that legacy into the drone industry. By focusing on solutions that sincerely benefit society, we hope our name reflects curiosity, creativity, and exploration.
