Tesla

This article is a stub. You can help OpenStreetMap by expanding it.

Tesla is an American manufacturer of electric cars. Early on, Tesla had proprietary socket types, which have now coalesced into worldwide standards, including NACS from the previous Tesla connector.

Mapping Tesla facilities

Tesla showrooms are tagged shop=car.

See Tag:amenity=charging station for details on mapping Tesla Superchargers and Destination Charger electric vehicle charging stations.

See Brandenburg/Tesla about the construction of Gigafactory 4 in Germany, Brandenburg, Grünheide, during 2020.

Mapping Tesla Charging Stations

Tesla has a variety of configurations, hardware, agreements, and access across their Supercharger brand of charging stations. In OpenStreetMap, we model these as the following...

Use of OSM data

Tesla Autopilot was previously reputed to use OSM data. In 2019, Tesla owners reported that the car's Smart Summon uses OSM data, routing along mapped service=parking_aisle ways. In November 2020, Twitter user @greentheonly inferred the use of OpenStreetMap data, after finding the latest Tesla "Map Data" update was a new set of Valhalla tiles, which is used for routing and Autopilot decisions. However, in 2023 @greentheonly said the sources of the Valhalla Mapbox format are unknown, Tesla discloses TomTom as a source + there are some OSM-similar parts + likely some of their own mapping.

As of 2026, the Model Y and Cybertruck owner's manuals credit OSM and OSRM.
