Nameplates

Founded in San Carlos, California in July 2003, and the first new American car company in generations to reach volume production.[1] It publishes almost nothing about its cars in the terms an encyclopedia wants (no power figures, no torque figures), which is why the numbers here lean on the EPA’s public-domain test records rather than on the manufacturer.

Nameplates (5)

Computed from every entry that names this brand, never a hand-maintained list. Each nameplate is a hub over its own generations.

Cars (6)

Every generation and halo trim from this brand, with the figures each one carries. Sort by any column; a car we have not sourced a figure for sorts last rather than as a zero.

Logo: File:Tesla T symbol.svg · Tesla (logo), Fry1989 (vectorisation). Displayed unmodified to identify this manufacturer's own vehicles, editorially and without any suggestion of endorsement or affiliation. Commons records the file as public domain for copyright purposes with an explicit 'trademarked' restriction; the basis for display here is trademark nominative use, not a copyright licence.

Accent colour: An editorial approximation of the red Tesla uses in its wordmark and on tesla.com. Tesla publishes no publicly documented brand-colour specification, so this is not presented as an official brand asset.
