The rankings are based on analysis from Finstra Consulting in collaboration with Innovators DNA and uses data and a proprietary valuation model HOLT, a division of Credit Suisse. According to the publication, Tesla “has rewritten many of the rules hardened within the century-old auto business.”
Currently, Tesla sells the Model S electric sedan and recently introduced Ludicrous Mode, allowing the Model S to go 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds, faster than some of the supercars available in today’s market.
