Tesla Cybertruck Unveil Event
Date: November 21st, 2019
Another out of this world event from Tesla was the unveiling of the futuristic Cybertruck.

Tesla Model Y Unveil Event
Date: March 14th, 2019
The Model Y was perhaps the unveil that was received with very little hype or attention back in 2019. However, it has since become the best selling Tesla and soon to be the best selling vehicle around the world.

Tesla Model 3 Unveil Event
Date: March 31st, 2016
One of the most pivotal moments in Tesla’s history was the mass production of the Model 3. It was what took Tesla from a producer of niche, expensive electric cars, to one for the masses. Or at least the slightly richer masses.
