Tesla's Mission for Sustainable Energy Transition
Motors vehicles such as cars are a contributing factor to the overall negative impact we have on the environment.

These contributions may be one of the main causes for global warming.

Tesla cars save energy, help the fight against climate change and help reduce carbon dioxide levels within the atmosphere.
