Most people associate Elon Musk with a slightly weird but fantastic innovator who enjoys sending rockets to Mars and smoking weed on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Tesla, Inc., his firm, is probably what comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly electric cars that are also very attractive and, in some ways, much better than traditional autos.

I have put up this article to enable you to learn fascinating facts about Tesla. As a result, you’ll gain an appreciation for just how forward-thinking and innovative Tesla’s current systems are.


36 Tesla Statistics 2022

1. In the final four months of 2018, Tesla’s market share in the United States was approximately 2%

Tesla-2018

That translates to one Tesla for every 50 new cars purchased in the United States. Compared to just 0.3 percent in January of this year, this is a dramatic increase.


2. During the first three months of 2019, Teslas accounted for 75 percent of all new electric vehicle sales in the United States

Among electric vehicles sold in the United States, the Model 3 accounts for 60% percent of all sales, while the more expensive Model X and Model S account for 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Compared to the first quarter of 2018, Tesla’s market share in electric vehicles increased by 8 percent year over year.


3. In 2018, Tesla made 21.461 billion USD in revenue

In 2018 Tesla made 21.461 billion USD in revenue

This represents an increase of 82.51 percent over 2017. With a first-quarter revenue of 4.541 billion USD, which ended on March 31st, the company’s revenue growth looked unstoppable in 2019. There has been a 33.23 percent increase over the same period last year. There has been a 143 million USD profit for Tesla in the third quarter of 2019 alone, according to the most recent Tesla data.


4. In December 2019, Tesla’s overall value was estimated at 78 billion USD

Since 2010, Tesla’s shares have been sold on the stock market. Stock price multiplied by the number of shares in issue represented its total value. Tesla had a net worth of $77.57 billion USD on December 27th, to be precise.


5. As of December 2019, Elon Musk had a net worth of 27 billion USD

Musk was a genius from the start and was destined for greatness. His first product, the source code for the space-themed video game Blastar, which he developed at the age of 12, sold for 500 USD. He learned how to program at the age of 9. He had his greatest financial success before Tesla in 2002 when eBay purchased PayPal. For his shares, Musk was paid $165 million.


6. In the third quarter of 2019, Tesla sold a total of 97k vehicles around the world

Model 3s accounted for 79,600 of the vehicles. Since the Model 3 was released in 2017, the number of Tesla vehicles sold around the world has increased dramatically.


Tesla’s Model 3

In 2018, the business shipped 140,000 vehicles. Tesla’s Model 3 beat out Audi, Mercedes, BMW’s, and similarly priced fossil fuel alternatives.


Tesla’s global sales aren’t nearly as impressive as its domestic sales. The Nissan Leaf was the most popular electric vehicle in Europe in 2018, while the BAIC EC-Series was the most popular in China.


9. There were a record number of Model 3 EV sales in 2018, thanks to Tesla

Model 3 EV

Despite this, the Nissan Leaf has been the most popular electric vehicle of all time. More than 400,000 Nissan Leaf EVs have been sold worldwide since the vehicle’s debut in 2010. The Tesla Model S, on the other hand, will soon overtake it at this pace. In 2018, Tesla sold more than 146,000 of this model.


10. In the Year 2013, Motor Trend Named Tesla’s Model S the Car of the Year for the First Time

The Model S received high marks from Motor Trend across the board. A reviewer said that it drives like a sports car, feels like a Rolls-Royce, and is more efficient than a Toyota Prius, all at a lower overall cost. Additionally, no other car manufacturer can compete with Tesla’s software capabilities.


11. When it comes to car screens, Tesla’s Model S has the largest ever seen on the road

Tesla’s Model S

You’ll be hard-pressed to find another that’s as large as this one. Multiple buttons on the left side of the steering wheel keep the design distraction-free. It also serves as a digital screen that displays the most relevant information.


12. A total of four different types of sensors are employed by Tesla’s Autopilot

As a start, there’s a radar that can see 160 meters in front of it, regardless of weather conditions such as snow, sand or fog. It has eight cameras, all of which are designed to read signs and keep an eye on the vehicle’s rear and sides. Ultrasonic sonar detects objects within an 8-meter radius and works in all directions. Finally, all Tesla cars use GPS to keep track of their location on the road.


13. Some of Tesla Motors’ patents are licensed to other companies

Although Tesla owns many patents, the company is giving them away for free to other companies. The goal here is to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road, eventually leading to a reduction in pollution.


14. Model X Car is known for Dancing to Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Wizards in Winter.”

Model X Car

This is a fascinating fact about Tesla cars. This was a Christmas-themed software update. When you turn it on, the car’s lights and doors will sway to the beat of the music.


15. Tesla promises that after the first 120,000 miles, the Model 3’s battery will retain 70 percent of its capacity

However, the more expensive Model X and Model S are not covered by this guarantee. After the first 160,000 miles, according to data collected by the Tesla owners group in the Belgium and Netherlands, Tesla’s batteries retain more than 90 percent of their capacity, if not more.


16. Only the wiper blades and the tires on a Tesla need to be changed regularly

No air, fans, or oil filters are needed in an electric car. This is because there aren’t any spark plugs. Reversing the electric engine instead of applying brakes with friction discs is how Teslas typically slow down.


17. A single gearbox is standard on Teslas and other electric vehicles

A single gearbox is standard on Teslas

You can impress your car-loving friends with this Tesla fun fact. As electric motors can rev much more quickly than conventional fossil fuel engines, this design makes sense. Diesel engines typically have torque limits of 6,000 rpm or less, while electric cars can quickly reach 20,000 rpm or more. In addition, electric motors are far more effective when run at high revolutions per minute (RPM).


18. Compared to internal combustion engines, Tesla’s motor is a small one

When comparing the horsepower output of Tesla’s electric engines to their fossil fuel counterparts, it is clear that Tesla’s engines are significantly smaller. This gives the trunk and passengers more room.


19. When completed, Tesla’s Gigafactory 1 will be the world’s largest building in terms of square footage

Tesla’s Gigafactory 1

Indeed, it is expected to be so large that it will have room for 93 Boeing 747s. Panasonic, Tesla’s primary battery supplier, is working on the project with them. More than 60 percent of the world’s lithium-ion batteries are expected to be manufactured in China.


20. The typical age of a Tesla Model 3 owner is 46

In comparison, the average American citizen is only 38 years old. Owners of the more expensive Model S and Model X vehicles are even older on average. It’s been 52 years for one and 54 years for the other.


21. People who purchase Tesla are 135 percent more likely to be Disney cartoons and movies fans

Disney cartoons and movies fans

Among the most bizarre things about Tesla owners, this is without a doubt. The high probability of them becoming a parent may be a factor or, on the other hand, by virtue of the quality of Disney’s classics.


According to reports, a whopping 28 percent of Americans are interested in purchasing the all-new Tesla Model 3. 7 percent of Texans agree with them. Since Tesla Motors is based in Silicon Valley, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.


23. Among Tesla Model S owners, the average annual household income is 153,313 USD

That’s a long way from the 63,179 USD average annual income in the United States. At 143,177 USD yearly, the average annual salary for a Tesla Model X owner is lower.


24. In comparison to human drivers, Tesla’s Autopilot has a lower rate of accidents

Tesla’s Autopilot

On average, Tesla vehicles with Autopilot engaged had one accident every 2.87 million miles driven in the first quarter of 2019. Every 1,766,000 miles flown without Autopilot resulted in one accident. According to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), conventional vehicles have one accident every 436,000 miles.


25. Autopilot is still a long way from being completely self-sufficient

A common misunderstanding about Tesla cars is that the Autopilot feature can function without human supervision. A “Level 2” driver assistance system means that Autopilot is extremely advanced. To be fully autonomous, Tesla’s driving software must reach Level 5.


26. In terms of safety, Tesla’s Model 3 is among the best

Tesla’s Model 3

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests gave it a perfect five-star rating in each category.


27. Tesla’s Autopilot has claimed the lives of four different drivers so far

On March 1st, 2019, in Delray Beach, Florida, the most recent occurred. A Tesla Model 3 was involved in a collision with a truck that crossed the centerline of the highway. There was a 10-second delay in the Autopilot system registering the driver’s hands, but it was turned on just before the accident.


28. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Tesla Motors don’t always agree

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

The Model 3 received excellent ratings from NHTSA. When asked about Tesla’s claim that it “has the lowest risk of occupant injury of any vehicle in US government tests,” NHTSA said the conclusion goes beyond the scope of their testing.


29. Elon Musk was not the original founder of Tesla Motors

They’re Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard, Tesla Motors’ investors and engineers. Soon after, Elon Musk joined the team.


30. In 2008, the first hundred Tesla vehicles were produced in just one month

first hundred Tesla vehicles were produced

It’s fascinating to learn about Tesla’s early years. Tesla produced its first 100 Roadsters in March or April of 2008. At the time, the price was around 100,000 USD. That’s more than twice the price of today’s Model 3, which is far more technologically advanced.


31. Elon Musk, on the other hand, prefers Thomas Edison to Nikola Tesla as a scientist.

Nikola Tesla

Tesla Motors was given its name by its two original founders in honor of Nikola Tesla, the internet’s favorite inventor. Elon Musk, on the other hand, stated in an interview from 2008 that he prefers Edison, despite the fact that he considers both men to be role models. Unlike Edison, Elon claims that Tesla did not bring its inventions to market or make them available to the general public.


32. Insurers like Travelers and Farmers offer discounts for insuring Tesla’s vehicles, such as the Model 3

It applies to all electric and hybrid vehicles, but you can still benefit from driving an environmentally friendly vehicle by doing this. Some companies, like  AAA, have raised the cost of Tesla insurance because of the higher frequency with which Tesla owners file insurance claims.


33. Tesla’s Model S P100D was the world’s fastest production car, with a 0-to-60 time of 2.9 seconds

Tesla’s Model S P100D

When it came to acceleration from zero to sixty, this vehicle set a new record in Motor Trend’s 2017 test. This was as a result of its most recent software update, which added the Ludicrous+ mode.


34. A full charge of a Tesla Model X at home costs, on average, 13.66 USD

To put that into perspective, a full tank of gas costs, on average, 76.74 USD per fill.


35. If you buy a new Tesla in California, you can get 4,500 USD back.

A new battery-powered vehicle purchased in California qualifies for up to 4,500 USD in rebates for low-income residents. A 2,000 USD standard rebate is the minimum amount eligible for a refund.


36. Gigafactory of Tesla aligns to true north

This simplifies the process of setting up GPS units for remote-controlled vehicles and solar panels. The Gigafactory’s primary source of power will be solar panels, but wind and local geothermal sources will also be utilized.


FAQs

1. Which country is the highest owner of tesla cars?

Tesla’s largest market is the US. Norway and China follow the US in terms of vehicle ownership.

2. How much share does Tesla have in the electric vehicle market?

Tesla currently has about 80 percent of the US EV market share, but this varies by time.

3. What’s the total number of Tesla’s sold cars?

Throughout the company’s history, Tesla has sold 532,000 electric vehicles worldwide. That figure had risen to about 720,000 by the end of the second quarter of 2019.


Conclusion

With my research and the compilation of various Tesla statistics, I have come to the conclusion that conventionally powered automobiles are rapidly becoming obsolete. The analogy with vinyl records is the best I can think of. It has a mechanical, almost tactile appeal to automobiles with internal combustion engines. Changing gears, gasoline smell, and the sound of the engine cannot be replaced.

On the other hand, electric vehicles (like streaming services) provide comparable performance in a more convenient and environmentally friendly manner than gasoline-powered vehicles. Additionally, the more traditional alternatives can’t compete with their more advanced features. This makes me feel that Tesla and other electric cars will be the norm in the future, while diesel and gas cars will only appeal to true car lovers.
