where did the name model t come from
Ford Model T Several cars were conceived by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 before the Model T was introduced. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 20 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S,[15] an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A (rather than any Model U). The company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A.
Tesla Model S The Model S was styled by Franz von Holzhausen, who previously worked for Mazda North American Operations.[31] The car was codenamed WhiteStar during research and preliminary development.[1][2][3] It was officially announced in a press release on June 30, 2008.[32][33] The prototype vehicle was displayed at a press conference on March 26, 2009.[34] Exclusive premier of their Model S electric car was held at their Menlo Park store on April 8, 2009.
