To accomplish our mission, we need to design
products that are far superior to their fossil fuel
alternatives in every way, source and manufacture
them as sustainably as possible and sell as many
of them as we can.

We believe the best way to do this is by offering

an ecosystem of products that comprehensively
addresses our world's clean energy and
transportation needs.

increasing renewable energy usage and implementing
more efficient processes. We also collected more GHG

More efficient vehicles equals less lifetime energy use. EV Powertrain Efficiency
Tesla vehicles are among the most efficient EVs built
to date, meaning they need to be charged less often,
generate fewer emissions per mile driven and result in
greater savings for customers. ​Model Y All-Wheel
Drive achieves 3.8 EPA miles/kWh—making it the most
efficient electric SUV ever made. ​

Our Supercharger network is the largest fast-charging

Model Y comes standard with premium features that create
a driving experience rivaling that of luxury vehicles, which
have a much higher average ownership cost. When you
factor in incentives, fuel savings and minimal maintenance,
Model Y has ownership costs close to those of mass-
market-less premium-vehicles.

The cost of electricity to power Model Y is up to three times

lower than a comparable ICE vehicle-resulting in up to

Our energy products can serve many purposes,
including reducing emissions, helping to prevent grid
outages and acting as backup power if the grid does
go down. Keeping the grid up means keeping our
economy functioning, from household appliances to
factories to life-saving machinery at hospitals.

We are committed to reducing the cost of our

products to improve access and foster mass
