Tesla's product lineup extends far beyond its popular electric vehicles (EVs). The company manufactures a full range of EVs, including the Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y, along with the upcoming Cybertruck and Semi. Critically, Tesla also produces the ecosystem that supports them: energy storage products like the Powerwall and Megapack, and solar energy generation systems, including Solar Roof and solar panels. This integrated approach to sustainable energy is what truly defines Tesla's manufacturing scope.
Tesla's core business remains its electric vehicles, which are categorized by body style and market segment. The Model S is a full-size luxury sedan, while the Model 3 is a more compact, affordable sedan. The Model X is a mid-size SUV famous for its falcon-wing doors, and the Model Y is a compact crossover SUV, which has become a global best-seller. The highly anticipated Cybertruck is an all-electric pickup truck built with an exoskeleton made of ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel, and the Semi is designed to revolutionize freight transport.
However, calling Tesla just a car company is a vast understatement. Through its energy division, Tesla manufactures and sells solar panels and the Solar Roof, which replaces traditional roofing tiles with durable glass tiles that generate electricity. To store this energy, Tesla produces the Powerwall for residential use, the Powerpack for commercial settings, and the utility-scale Megapack. These products form a complete, sustainable energy loop for homes, businesses, and the grid.
Supporting all these products is Tesla's proprietary Supercharger network, a global system of fast-charging stations. The company also develops the hardware and software for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, an advanced driver-assistance system that is continuously improved through over-the-air updates. This combination of physical products and integrated software ecosystems is Tesla's key differentiator.
