    CNBC, the plural of Tesla is Teslas. As in “110 Teslas were sold in Germany”. The apostrophe is used for something tgat belongs to Tesla like “Tesla’s CEO is a Nazi”.

      Are you referring to ‘Tesla’s new car sales’? Because the possessive apostrophe is correct. Tesla is the name of the company, and it’s about their (possessive) new car sales.
