Full Vertical Integration

We use real-world Tesla vehicle data to improve vehicle safety in a diverse array of driving scenarios with regular over-the-air software updates.

A New Approach to Safety

99.95% Uptime, 100% Renewable

99.95% Uptime,
100% Renewable

With more than 45,000 Superchargers, we own and operate the largest fast charging network in the world. Our global network had 99.95% uptime and was 100% renewable in 2022, achieved through a combination of onsite resources and annual renewable matching.

Case Study: Model S

Since its introduction in 2012, we have increased the range of the Model S by over 50%: from 265 miles to 405 miles of range for Model S Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive. Data shows that as vehicle range increases, Supercharging use decreases.

Fact: Quick Break

Drivers usually take a break after four hours, around 300 miles of range at highway speed. Our newest Superchargers can recover up to 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes of charging, long enough for a quick break.

The accessibility of our products is fundamental to our mission. The lifetime running costs of EVs are lower than the running costs of ICE vehicles due to lower maintenance costs, cheap electricity and residual values. Over five years of average driving, the ownership costs of Model 3 are closer to a Toyota Corolla than a BMW 3-Series.

Lowest Cost per Mile

Enhanced Safety
With Autopilot

In 2022, we recorded 0.18 crashes for every million miles driven in which drivers were using Autopilot technology (mostly highway mile using Autosteer and active safety features) and 0.31 crashes for every million miles driven in which drivers were using FSD (mostly city miles). For drivers who were not using Autopilot technology (no Autosteer and active safety features), we recorded 0.68 crashes for every million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there are 1.53 automobile crashes for every million miles driven*.

Energy storage makes the future of an entirely renewable grid possible. Megapack and Powerwall provide the ability to store excess renewable energy production from solar panels, wind and other carbon-free sources to support the grid when it needs it the most.

Massive Energy Storage

We sold more than 13% of the 50 GWh global market in 2022.*

A Megapack XL has almost 4,000 kWh worth of battery storage capacity – and given its scalability – enables projects over 1,000,000 kWh.

Safety is always our priority and we continue to review, test and update our safety requirements and procedures ahead of industry standards. If we account for all our energy products since inception, the failure rate is less than 0.001%.
