Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla in 2023 recorded $49.6 million in U.S.-originating air travel. The company spent 2023 onboarding a number of new markets in Latin America, EMEA and Asia-Pacific to its travel program. In EMEA, that included wrapping the region into Tesla’s meetings and incentive programs. Tesla also launched in EMEA the U.K. and Europe rail content aggregator and booking platform Trainline to streamline business bookings and manage train travel data. The move is part of an effort at the EV company to make business travel more sustainable. 

Tesla rolled out virtual cards to certain segments of its traveling population in 2023, mostly targeting independent contractors who would not be eligible for Tesla’s corporate card program which runs largely through Citibank. From a policy perspective, the company loosened air travel policy to now allow premium economy class for international flights of 8-plus hours. 

Top travel management goals for Tesla in 2024 were to secure new airline contracts via a global request-for-proposals process. The company also continued to identify the latest travel technology in its pursuit of a best-in-class travel program.

Total employee count at the end of 2023 was about 140,500. Total revenue that year was $96.7 billion.
