From a teenage dream to Tesla rental

It began at sixteen.

Instead of summer holidays by the lake, I sat voluntarily in a classroom in the south of France. A language stay. Curiosity. It became a ritual: every year a new city, a new language.

Years later, a lot of knowledge had piled up – but the right tool was missing. A platform that doesn't just quiz languages, but truly motivates. Two years of work, developers, a high five-figure sum. In the end, the realization: what I really wanted to build needs millions.

The answer was Elon Musk

The question became urgent: How do I get capital – fast?

The answer came in 2011. And it was called Elon Musk. I was convinced: he would become one of the richest people in the world. His stock would get me there, so I could someday still realize the language dream.

Tesla exploded. The conviction became reality.

That's how teslify came to be

Then came the idea: why not build something myself – as a Tesla shareholder – that supports my own conviction and advances electric mobility in Switzerland? That's how teslify came to be.

Not a classic startup with pitch decks. But born from passion for Tesla, with delivery across Switzerland, Bitcoin payment and the promise that driving is possible without stickers and without drama.

The language project is still waiting. With every Tesla rented out, we get one step closer.
