Tesla Inc

NASDAQ:TSLA

Tesla designs and sells electric vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks, and it also sells the software, charging equipment, and home energy products that support those vehicles. Its main customers are car buyers, fleet customers, and households or businesses that want batteries, solar, and backup power systems. Tesla makes money by selling vehicles, software features, charging-related products, and energy storage and generation equipment. Tesla stands out because it is not just an automaker. It combines vehicle design, battery technology, software, and charging infrastructure in one business, which lets it control more of the customer experience than a traditional car company. It also sells its cars directly to buyers instead of relying on a large independent dealer network, which gives it tighter control over pricing, delivery, and service. The company also plays a role in the broader energy system. Its battery packs and storage systems are sold to people and organizations that want to store electricity for later use, often alongside solar power. That means Tesla earns money in two related markets: transportation and energy, both tied to the shift away from gasoline and toward electricity.
