Why a new chat service?
How is this better than Skype, Campfire etc?

Skype? Assuming, for a moment, that that is an entirely serious suggestion; you should perhaps look at an article I found as the top hit from a relatively simple Google search: http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=14915
And "tesla.im" are more trustworthy than Microsoft? Based on what evidence?
No, the messages are not encrypted, they are only passed over SSL to prevent people in the middle from getting the messages - just as Skype does... but Tesla or possibly Firebase can still read your messages if they wanted to. So you'd be just as at-risk using Tesla as you are using Skype or Google Hangouts (previous Talk).
