It's been two years since our NACS announcement - nice article from Motor Trend. motortrend.com/features/tesla…
I remember distinctly (over a decade ago) our engineers huddling after a meeting, nervously figuring out how to incorporate @elonmusk guidance to use shared pins for AC and DC charging. 20B miles later, am still proud at what we accomplished, and hope others can benefit as well
The physical reality behind our U.S. investments is even more staggering than the numbers. Highlights from over the years: California: Buying the Fremont factory (after it was shut down by previous owners), and growing it to become the country's largest automotive plant by…
Tesla has been focused on investing in manufacturing and infrastructure in the US since our inception and till the beginning of the year, we had invested ~$44B of capital expenditures. Just in the last fiscal year alone, we did ~$10B of capital expenditure and plan to invest…
Tesla has opened up its Supercharger network , built and deployed hardware (at our own cost) to accommodate non-Tesla vehicles, and supports co-location and competition with other charging providers. This is a unique posture, but is motivated by a sincere desire for ALL EV…
Today's press release from NJTA: njta.com/newsroom/servi… For clarity: - “Universal Open Access EV chargers” are currently their CCS1 chargers. All North American EVs are transitioning to NACS. Half of New Jersey EV drivers already have NACS vehicles, and fewer than 1% have a…
Tesla averages above 99% uptime on a network that is now over 60k posts globally, in no small part due to the silent heroes on our Supercharger Service team.
Posts, fuses & wire replaced. Cabinets inspected. Transformer re-energized. We're back online.
Now available for $249/month, after having been named to Car and Driver's 10Best Cars.

Incredibly proud of the Tesla team for the strong finish to 2024. 🎉 Q4 saw our highest-ever quarterly volumes for both new vehicle deliveries and energy storage deployment. Regarding energy storage: 2024 deployment of 31.4 GWh is more than double that of 2023.
Q4 2024 Production: 459,445 Deliveries: 495,570 Energy storage deployments: 11 GWh A record for both deliveries & deployments – Full year 2024 Production: 1,773,443 Deliveries: 1,789,226 Energy storage deployments: 31.4 GWh → ir.tesla.com/press-release/…
I grew up reading Car and Driver and looked forward to the 10Best each year. (The goal was to one day own a car on the list). Proud to see Tesla back on the list with the Model 3 LR RWD - high praise from editors who hold a very high bar. And of course, proud to own one too :)

One of the most frequent requests from both current and would-be customers in the U.S. was to be able to lease a vehicle with the option to purchase later. Now you can.
Lease buyout now available for new S3XY + @cybertruck leases in the US Model 3/Y starting at $299/month Model S/X and Cybertruck starting at $999/month
The very first Superchargers consisted of several Model S on-board chargers strung together to deliver a 90kW system. At the time, there was no compelling DC charging solution, and the best path for us was to design our own hardware and leverage all of the effort that had gone…

Tesla's North America Charging Standard is making its way across the ocean to Japan! Given that ~9 out of 10 high speed (>150kW) EV chargers in Japan are Tesla Superchargers, there's a proven benefit here to all involved - starting with Sony Honda Mobility's future customers!
We believe a great charging experience is key to accelerating EV adoption. We're excited that Sony Honda Mobility is adopting NACS in Japan!
It's one thing to describe, using first principles, why grid-integrated energy storage is valuable (especially behind the meter). It's another thing altogether to demonstrate this in concrete terms - as customers get paid to own (and dispatch) their Powerwalls.
Powerwall owners get compensated for their participation in all Virtual Power Plant events ie tonight in California:
