Tesla has been the automotive world’s most disruptive force this century. Most car startups fail. However, Tesla has become a global sales phenomenon. The brand delivered more than 1.8 million vehicles globally in 2023 and achieved more than four percent of the U.S. market share. The stock market currently values Tesla (as of this writing) higher than Toyota, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, BMW, Stellantis, Volkswagen, Ford and General Motors—combined.

Remarkably, Tesla’s success hasn’t come with new products per se. The brand’s S-3-X-Y lineup has remained static for a while. The Cybertruck is the first new and distinctive Tesla to debut this decade; fans still wait for bated breath for the new roadster and $25,000 Model 2. And Teslas can be challenging to tell apart.

Tesla Cybertruck Review

One could argue that the Model X crossover, Model 3 sedan, and Model Y crossover are — at least aesthetically when there aren’t shared platforms and componentry — riffs on Tesla’s initial modern EV, the Model S sedan. Tesla offers the cars in mostly the same few color options. The interiors are unadorned and minimalist, with most functions relegated to a large touchscreen. It’s easy for just about anyone to spot a Tesla. But it can be hard for even a seasoned car person to ascertain which one at first glance.

Despite the similarities, there are also crucial differences between Teslas, which can range from spartan entry-level EVs to high-performance electric supercars.
