Did Nikola Tesla build a revolutionary electric car?
Claims have been made that the famous scientist whose name adorns Elon Musk's range of electric vehicles made one of his own. But are they true? Jeff Glorfeld investigates.
 

Here are just a few of his accomplishments: he produced the first motor that ran on alternating current (AC); his ‘Tesla coil’ laid the foundation for wireless technologies and is still used in radio technology today; he was a pioneer in the discovery of radar, X-ray technology and remote control; and he teamed with George Westinghouse to build the world’s first large-scale AC power plant.

Today the magnetic field strength of MRI scanners is measured in Teslas, and Tesla is the name of a leading maker of electric cars.

But did Tesla himself make an electric car?
