Tesla designs and sells electric vehicles and renewable energy products. Its cars (Model S, 3, X, Y, and Roadster) run on battery power, with a semi-autonomous Autopilot driving system and a global network of fast-charging stations called Superchargers. The company also provides solar panels, Solar Roof, and energy storage products (Powerwall, Powerpack, Megapack) to generate and store clean energy for homes and businesses. Tesla operates with a vertically integrated model, manufacturing key components (batteries, drivetrains) and selling directly to customers via its website and stores, while earning revenue from vehicle and energy product sales and regulatory credits. Its goal is to speed up the world’s transition to sustainable energy by combining mobility and energy solutions in one ecosystem.

↓ -1%Elon Musk's $158 billion Tesla compensation package was 2,522,203 times the median employee's pay in 2025, according to the AFL-CIO's executive paywatch report. The package was 14 times larger than the combined total compensation of all other S&P 500 CEOs. Excluding Musk, average CEO pay at S&P 500 companies rose 21% from $18.9 million in 2024 to $22.8 million in 2025. The average CEO-to-worker pay ratio across S&P 500 companies reached 5,387-to-1 in 2025, or 312-to-1 excluding Musk. Tesla shareholders approved the compensation package, which includes performance targets such as the company's market valuation topping $8.5 trillion within 10 years. The median Tesla employee earned $57,243 in 2025. Tesla's 2025 revenue fell 3% year over year to $94 billion, whilst GAAP earnings shrank 61%.
Swedish union IF Metall is ending its nearly three-year strike against Tesla after the company bought out all remaining union members. The strike began on 27 October 2023, when approximately 80 Tesla mechanics walked out demanding a collective bargaining agreement. The 1,021-day dispute became the longest industrial conflict in modern Swedish history. Tesla never signed a collective agreement, maintaining its own pay and benefits already met or exceeded Swedish standards. Despite the prolonged action, the strike had limited visible effect on sales for much of its duration. Tesla's Model Y was Sweden's best-selling car in both 2023 and 2024, with the company posting a record 21,894 vehicle registrations in 2024. Shares of Tesla closed 4% higher on Thursday following the news.
Tesla has applied for tax incentives to build a $10.1 billion solar manufacturing facility in Fort Bend County, Texas. The project, named Crystal Sun, could begin operations in early 2029 and employ over 9,700 workers. The facility would produce photovoltaic cells, assembled solar modules, and related supply chain equipment. Tesla has not disclosed planned production capacity. The company is considering another US location and states the Texas project would be less economically attractive without incentives. Construction could start this year and finish in 2028, pending state and local approvals. The proposal aligns with Tesla's expanded energy infrastructure investment supporting its artificial intelligence and robotics initiatives. Elon Musk previously stated Tesla and SpaceX aim for combined US solar manufacturing capacity of 100 gigawatts annually.
Tesla is considering a $10.1 billion solar cell plant in Texas, according to a tax incentive application filed with the state. The proposed 3,050-acre facility in Fort Bend County would consolidate the full solar production chain, from ingot and wafer manufacturing to module assembly. The project, dubbed "Project Crystal Sun", could create 9,712 permanent jobs and 1,147 construction positions, with operations targeted for the first quarter of 2029. Tesla is seeking a 10-year property tax limitation and is also evaluating a site outside Texas. Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya commented that Tesla is "going all in on nuclear", noting the sun is "a nuclear reactor, just farther away". Tesla currently produces solar panels at a facility in Buffalo, New York.
