According to the report, the EV giant made significant strides in reducing its carbon footprint last year. The company claims to have achieved a net carbon neutrality across its operations, manufacturing and energy products in 2021. This was accomplished by reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy efficiency and investing in renewable energy sources.

Tesla also expanded its product line in 2021, launching the Model Y in several new markets and introducing the Cybertruck and Semi trucks, both of which are set to begin production in the coming years. The company expects to continue growing its product portfolio in the coming years, with plans to release new models and expand into new markets.

In addition to its sustainability efforts and product launches, Tesla also made progress in expanding its charging infrastructure.
