Does Tesla have internal combustion engines?

The simple answer is no. Tesla does not have internal combustion engines (ICE). Instead, they have electric motors that use rechargeable batteries. On rear-wheel-drive Tesla, the manufacturers place the electric motor on the rear axle. Similarly, Tesla manufacturers place electric motors on the front and rear axles on all-wheel-drive models.

How many electric motors does a Tesla have?

While traditional cars have one engine, Tesla vehicles can have up to four electric motors. In the rear-wheel-drive models, the electric motor sits over the rear axle, while all-wheel-drive models have another motor in between the front wheels. The new Tesla cybertruck will have one electric motor on every wheel.
