Goals / Remit
Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Founded in 2003, Tesla designs, manufactures and markets all-electric battery vehicles together with solutions for renewable energy production and storage. All Tesla vehicles have a driving range sufficient to completely replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Each generation of Tesla vehicles is one step further towards democratising electric cars.
Starting in 2008 with a sports car (Roadster, cumulative global sales 2,500), in 2019 we delivered over 367,000 full-electric vehicles, more than any other carmaker. Most of these were of our third-generation, and more affordable mass-market, ‘Model 3’. Revenues were $24.6bn. In 2020 we plan to bring to market our next car model, ‘Model Y’, as well as the Tesla Semi, a full-size long-range electric heavy truck.
Tesla is investing heavily in recharging infrastructure to create a no-compromise EV experience. Tesla’s pan-European motorway-charging network (“Supercharger Network”) enables EV customers to travel across Europe. Early 2020, we had 505 Supercharger stations in operation in Europe (+15%), with 4,772 stalls (+23%). We also started rolling out ‘Version 3’ Supercharger stations in Europe, which enables Model 3 to recharge about 250km of range in 10 minutes. Our “Destination Charging” program, started in 2016, supports the larger tourism industry (hotels, restaurants, resorts, etc.) in providing charging solutions for all EV users.
Vehicle safety is a top priority for us; this includes all-round passive safety (crashworthiness) as well as cutting-edge active safety features powered by our vehicles’ cameras, ultrasonic sensors and radar. In 2019 EuroNCAP tested both Model 3 and Model X; both earned ‘best in class’ ratings.
The sensors and on-board computer on our vehicles also enables development of self-driving features through fleet learning. Software improvements are delivered through regular Over-The-Air software updates to our entire fleet. These updates also enable constant improvement of safety, security, and all-round performance of our vehicles.
To support the development of renewably produced electricity, Tesla launched small and large-scale stationary battery storage solutions in 2015. For individual owners, Tesla’s “Powerwall” solution enables self-consumption of locally produced electricity or deferred electricity consumption to off-peak hours, as well as ensures continuation of supply in the event of a power failure. For industrial customers, Tesla’s “Powerpack” solution enables larger storage projects and grid services applications. 2019 installations totalled 1.65 GWh.
Tesla is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, USA, and employs around 40,000 people worldwide. Tesla’s main productions capacities are currently located in Fremont, California, Reno, Nevada and Buffalo, New York. Early 2020 we also started deliveries of Model 3 produced at our 'Gigafactory Shanghai'.
Our European footprint is growing quickly. We operate an assembly facility in Tilburg, the Netherlands, and Tesla Grohmann Automation in Prüm, Germany, develops advanced manufacturing technologies. Tesla's European Headquarters is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We have around 5,500 employees across Europe and over 100 sales and service centres.
In November 2019, Tesla announced its intention to build a European 'Gigafactory' close to Berlin, Germany, initially to build our forthcoming Model Y.Main EU files targeted
Tesla follows EU policy initiatives in the following areas: climate and energy policy, transport, automotive policies, industrial policy, battery, waste and circular economy policies, data and digital society.
