Tesla, an American multinational automotive and clean energy company headquartered in Austin, Texas, is well-known for its innovative electric vehicles and energy products. The company has a diverse product line that includes a range of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and solar panels. Here is a look at some of the different Tesla products:
Electric vehicles:
Tesla is primarily known for its electric vehicles, which include sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks. The company’s most popular vehicles are the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. Each vehicle has its own unique features and capabilities, and they are all designed to be high-performance and energy-efficient.
In 2021, the company made $5.5 billion. Also, it sold a record 936,000 cars, which was almost twice as many as the sales recorded in 2020.
Energy storage systems:
Tesla also produces energy storage systems, which are designed to store excess electricity generated by solar panels or other renewable energy sources. These systems, which include the Powerwall and Powerpack, can be used to power homes and businesses during power outages or to reduce electricity costs by storing excess solar energy.
Tesla’s energy generation and storage business, which includes solar panels, the Powerwall storage device for homes and businesses, and the Megapack utility storage unit, brought in $801 million in revenue in 2021.
Similarly, on its Q4 2020 earnings call, the company said that the number of batteries it deployed rose by 83% in 2020.

Solar panels:
Tesla also produces solar panels and solar roof tiles, which are designed to capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity. The company’s solar panels are designed to be efficient and easy to install, and they can be used to power homes, businesses, and even electric vehicles.
Before tax breaks and credits, a two-story, 2,000-square-foot home with an 11.28-kW solar roof can cost slightly more than $55,300. Tesla Solar Panels will cost $26,900 before incentives for the same size house. The panels will only produce 8.16 kW, as opposed to the solar roof’s 11.28 kW.
Furthermore, Tesla said that its roof tiles are three times stronger than comparable roof tiles. ANSI, ASTM, and UL all gave Tesla’s roof tiles the highest certification for hail, wind, and fire resistance.
Superchargers:
In addition to its products, Tesla also operates a network of fast-charging stations called Superchargers. These stations are located along major highways and in cities around the world, and they are designed to quickly charge Tesla electric vehicles. The company also operates Destination Chargers, which are slower charging stations that are located at hotels, restaurants, and other destinations.
As of 2021, Tesla had more than 25,000 superchargers in North America, Europe, and Asia. This makes its fast-charging network for electric vehicles (EVs) the biggest in the world. Goldman Sachs in a tweet forecast that Tesla could make more than $25 billion from less than $1 billion in annual revenue by opening up its charging network to other electric cars.
