Tesla was actually quite famous while he was alive. Even though the power plants opted to utilize Tesla's invention of alternating current, rather than Edison's preferred direct current, many of the plants were still named after Edison and perpetuated his fame. Tesla eventually became almost forgotten until a car company was named after him.
I just saw the tweet from Elon about a $1 million donation to the Nikola Tesla Museum in Long Island. There's already a Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, Serbia. http://www.tesla-museum.org/meni_en.htm. Do we know if there are any Model S' on-the-ground in Serbia? Now THAT would be a picture...a Model S in front of the original Tesla museum! :smile:
