The Tesla Roadster is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports car, based on the Lotus Elise chassis, that was produced  from 2008 to 2012.

The Roadster was the first highway legal serial production all-electric car to use lithium-ion battery cells and the first production all-electric car to travel more than 320 kilometres per charge. It is also the first production car to be launched into deep space, carried by a Falcon Heavy rocket in 2018.

Tesla sold about 2450 Roadsters in over 30 countries and most of the last Roadsters were sold in Europe and Asia during the fourth quarter of 2012.

The Roadster is powered by a 3-phase, 4-pole, induction electric motor with a maximum output power of 248 hp. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 201 km/h.

The Sport model introduced during the Jan 2009 Detroit Auto Show includes a motor with a higher density, hand-wound stator that produces a maximum of 288 hp.

The first Tesla Roadster was delivered in February 2008 to Tesla co-founder, chairman and product architect Elon Musk. The company produced 500 similar vehicles through June 2009. In July 2009, Tesla began production of its 2010 model-year Roadster—the first major product upgrade. Simultaneously, Tesla began producing the Roadster Sport, the first derivative of Tesla's proprietary, patented powertrain. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, compared to 3.9 seconds for the standard Roadster.

Tesla produced the Roadster until January 2012, when its supply of gliders ran out, as its contract with Lotus Cars for 2500 gliders expired at the end of 2011.

The Tesla Model S is a battery-electric, four-door full-size car that was produced by the American automaker Tesla from 2012 to 2026. The automaker's second vehicle, the Model S has been described as one of the most influential electric cars in the industry. Its various accolades include the Motor Trend Car of the Year Award in 2013.

Tesla started developing the Model S around 2007 under the codename WhiteStar, with Henrik Fisker appointed as lead designer for the project. After a dispute with Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, Fisker was replaced by Franz von Holzhausen who, by 2008, had designed the production Model S's exterior. Tesla unveiled a prototype of the vehicle in March 2009 in Hawthorne, California. In 2010, Tesla acquired a facility in Fremont, California, to produce the Model S, which was previously owned by General Motors and Toyota. Series manufacture of the car officially began at the Tesla Fremont Factory in June 2012. Tesla carried out the final assembly for European markets at its facilities in Tilburg, Netherlands, between 2013 and 2021.

Constructed mostly of aluminum, the Model S shares 30 percent of its components with the Model X—a crossover SUV that was introduced in 2015. The Model S underwent several updates during its production, the most prominent ones occurring in 2016 and 2021. These updates usually included modifications to the motor, such as changes to power or torque, revised exterior elements, and refreshed interior features. One such change included the 2015 introduction of Tesla Autopilot—a partial vehicle automation advanced driver-assistance system. The 2021 update led to the introduction of the high-performance, three-motor Plaid. Tesla ended production of the car in May 2026.

In 2015, the Model S was the world's best-selling plug-in electric vehicle. In 2012, it was included on Time's list of the Best Inventions of the Year, and the magazine later included it on its list of the 10 Best Gadgets of the 2010s in 2019. Car and Driver included it one its list of the best cars of the year in 2015 and 2016. In 2014, The Daily Telegraph described the Model S as a "car that changed the world". Road & Track argued that, with the introduction of the Plaid and features such as the yoke steering wheel, Tesla managed to turn the Model S into "perhaps one of the worst [cars in the world]".

Tesla allocated its initial 1000 Model S units to the "Signature" limited edition configurations. The AC induction motor of the base Signature model generates a power output of 362 hp and a torque output of 439 N⋅m. The Signature Performance's motor produces 416 hp and 601 N⋅m. Both models incorporate an 85 kilowatt-hour (kWh) lithium-ion battery, and have an all-electric range of 426 km.

The laste generation Model S had a top version that produced a total output of 1020 hp and 1050 N⋅m, providing the car with a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration of 2 seconds and a maximum speed of 322 km/h, with a range of 630 km.

Musk announced that production of the Model S and Model X would cease by mid‑2026, following an 11 percent year‑over‑year decline in Tesla's automotive revenue in 2025. He also stated that the Fremont facility, where the vehicles are manufactured, would be repurposed for production of Tesla's forthcoming Optimus robot. The final units of both the Model S and Model X rolled off the Fremont line on May 13, 2026.

The Tesla Model 3 is a battery electric powered mid-size sedan with a fastback body style built by Tesla, Inc., introduced in 2017. The vehicle is marketed as being more affordable to more people than previous models made by Tesla. The Model 3 was the world's top-selling plug-in electric car for three years, from 2018 to 2020, before the Tesla Model Y, a crossover SUV based on the Model 3 chassis, took the top spot. In June 2021, the Model 3 became the first electric car to pass global sales of 1 million.

Within a week of unveiling the Model 3 in 2016, Tesla revealed they had taken 325.000 reservations for the car. These reservations represented potential sales of over US$14 billion. By August 2017, there were 455.000 net reservations.

One of the most striking and noticeable design choices on the Model 3 was the lack of a front grille. Since electric cars have lower cooling needs than combustion cars, they do not need a front grille, yet many, including the Model S, have one to fit in with the design of other vehicles. All trim levels include an expansive glass roof developed by the Tesla Glass group, from the same glass used for the Tesla Solar Roof.

When production began in 2017, the base Model 3 was announced to have a 50-kWh battery with a range of about 350 km while the optional 75-kWh battery would have a range of about 500 km.

In December 2019, Tesla offered Long Range dual-motor Model 3 owners who had software version 2019.40.2 the option to purchase a US$2000 "Acceleration Boost" software upgrade enabling a Sport driving mode, advertised to reduce 0-100 km/h time from 4.5s to 4.0s. Road testing confirmed better-than-expected acceleration with drivers in Sport mode reaching 0-100 km/h in 3.7s from standstill and 3.5s with a 1-foot rollout.

A facelifted Model 3 with revamped interior and exterior styling was introduced in late 2023 for countries supplied by Gigafactory Shanghai and in early 2024 in North America and other countries supplied by the Tesla Fremont Factory.
