ENVIRONMENTAL ALL-TIME TESLA ENERGY CONSUMPTION VS. GENERATION IMPACT Telsa’s solar electricity generation has far exceeded the amount of energy the entire Tesla vehicle fleet on the road has consumed to date. MODEL S, X AND 3 ENERGY 5.26 TWh CONSUMPTION TESLA SOLAR ENERGY 13.25 TWh GENERATION TWh 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 The World Health Organization estimates greenhouse gases and harmful air pollutants, such as particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, cause over 7M premature deaths around the globe each year. Reducing the use of fossil fuels for transportation and electricity generation decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and stroke in both developed and undeveloped countries. While many recognize the impact that power generation has on CO 2 emissions, power generation’s impact on water consumption is less appreciated. Power generation is one of the leading causes of water withdrawal in the U.S., as water for thermoelectric power is used in generating electricity with steam-driven turbine generators and also to cool the power-producing equipment. So every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of clean solar energy produced not only lowers CO emissions, but also 2 lowers water consumption. IMPACT REPORT 09
