By Tim Higgins

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, Business & Money

Journalist Tim Higgins's 2021 book, built on years of covering the carmaker, chronicles Tesla from its founding in 2003 through its struggle to build an affordable electric car for the mass market. Higgins follows Elon Musk's rise to control of the company and the conflicts with cofounders, investors and executives. He covers the near-bankruptcies, the production crisis of the Model 3 and the bets that kept the company alive, relying on accounts from insiders.
