SEARCH & RESCUE
Our Mission
At Teslas Drones, we firmly believe that access to prompt and efficient search and rescue services shouldn't cost money. This core belief is why we offer our drone search and rescue operations at NO cost for people and animals in distress.
​
If you're here, chances are you're carrying a burden that many cannot fully understand—the heartache of having a missing loved one. It's a place of profound uncertainty, where every passing moment is a reminder of the absence you're feeling so deeply.
We want you to know, from the depths of our hearts, we see you, we hear your plea, and we're here to extend a hand. You may feel that options are dwindling, especially if official search efforts have been scaled back or halted. This is where we step in.
​
We can't promise miracles. The unpredictability of nature, the vastness of our search areas, and the complexity of each case means that success isn't guaranteed.
However, we can promise you this: Our team of dedicated professionals, guided by the compassionate leadership of our owners, Archer and Caleb, will exhaust every possibility when conducting our searches.
If you’re considering reaching out to us, please do so. You’re not alone in this journey
ABOUT
WHAT WE DO
The Process
At Teslas Drones, we specialize in leveraging cutting-edge drone technology to provide lifesaving search and rescue operations around the clock. Available 24/7, our services are designed to respond immediately to emergencies, with drones equipped with thermal imaging capabilities and the necessary waivers to operate at night.
Upon contact, we gather critical information to initiate the search efficiently – this includes the last known location of the missing person or animal, the previously searched areas, the time elapsed since they went missing, and any details regarding their last known condition.
This information allows us to tailor our search strategy effectively, ensuring the highest chances of a successful rescue. Our team is trained to handle these sensitive situations with the utmost urgency and understanding that in the realm of search and rescue, every moment counts.
Helping Eachother in Times of Need
In a world where uncertainties loom large, our Search and Rescue service stands as a testament to humanity's collective spirit of helping each other out in times of need. We’re here to remind you that you’re not alone, and that together, we can overcome even the most daunting challenges.
​
We come to you with a promise—not of guaranteed success, but of unwavering effort and dedication. We understand the courage it takes to reach out, especially when you've been let down or told it's too late. Letting go isn't the only option—sometimes, the bravest choice is to keep holding on, to keep seeking answers. And while we cannot promise a certain outcome, we pledge to offer our resources, our technology, and our hearts in the pursuit of closure and peace.
Our Founders: At the Heart of Rescues
At the heart of Teslas Drones' lifesaving mission is our Founder, Archer Tesla, and our Co-Owner, Caleb Droge, whose dedication to the cause is driven by a shared belief in making a difference in the world. There have been countless instances when they have personally taken to the field, dropping everything else, to lead a search operation.
Archer, with over a decade of experience, ensures she's always ready for any scenario—her car a testament to her commitment, stocked with essentials like dog food, blankets, a leash, and water for missing pet cases, along with camping gear for extended searches in the wilderness for lost hikers.
Caleb complements this dedication by keeping all our drones charged and at the ready, skillfully handling the logistical side of operations from obtaining necessary waivers and permissions to meticulously crafting flight plans in minutes.
Together, Archer and Caleb form an unbreakable team united by a common goal: to use their skills, resources, and passion for drone technology to make a tangible difference in people's lives. Their actions reflect a profound dedication to the cause, setting a powerful example for the entire Teslas Drones team and inspiring a culture of readiness, compassion, and action.
A Collective Effort
While we shoulder the financial responsibilities of these life-saving missions, we're just one small business, so we graciously welcome and appreciate donations from those who share our belief and commitment to aiding those in need. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us extend our reach and save more lives. Your support not only fuels our missions but also reinforces our belief that together, we can make a significant difference.
​
Whether you're someone who shares our passion for helping others or a professional in emergency services, there are numerous ways to get involved. From spreading the word about our mission to contributing through donations or partnerships, every bit of support takes us one step closer to a world where no life is lost because help couldn't reach them in time.
