Tesla Inc ranks #380 of 4,988 slug-merged TRI parents, a smaller disclosed-volume parent relative to the national Form R parent set. Tesla Inc files across 3 states, a regional parent portfolio rather than a single-state discloser. Releases are facility-concentrated: Tesla Gigafactory accounts for most of Tesla Inc's disclosed pounds, so peer comparisons should weight that site, not an even portfolio average.
