Trend
Tesla is awarded a trend score of =. If the company were reassessed in the near future, its score would likely remain the same. With a fleet of entirely low-carbon vehicles, Tesla is already well below the fleet emissions performance required under the low-carbon pathway. Moreover, there is no indication that the company will move towards manufacturing higher-emitting vehicles. However, the company does not have a publicly available low-carbon transition plan or manufacturing emissions reduction targets. Furthermore, Tesla has shown little movement towards activities beyond traditional passenger vehicle ownership.
