DO:
• Use 3rd person. “The driver” is better than “you.” “Tesla” is better than “our.”
• Write efficiently. Our audience is intelligent and busy.
• Get to the point quickly.
• Be direct and confident without being aggressively arrogant.
• Prioritize the technology; it is the most universal. Performance and Design are good follow-up
messages.
• Ask the headquarters marketing team for guidance as necessary. If you are not a good writer,
don’t pretend. Just ask for help.
DO NOT:
• Use the logo in-line with text.
• Use the word “luxury” to describe Tesla. Tesla is a premium, performance brand.
• Be pompous. Our technology makes us great, not our egos.
• Use the word “green” unless you are describing the color of a car. “Green” is infused in the Tesla
mission – there’s no need to dilute it with the “greenwashing” other companies must employ.
• Use abbreviations. Our technology is new. Spell technical terms out.
