Is it Tezla or Tesla?

[Alpine]

On the call Elon pronounced it with a Z and members of his team with an S. I can't get myself to say Tezla, just seems wrong.

In the call, Elon said he hopes to be at 5000 units/week production at Giga Texas by the end of this year and 10,000 units by the end of 2023.

This is for MY and CT combined. Do we know the forcasted production split between the 2 models? Even if its 70% MY and 30% CT, thats still saying he is hoping to be cranking out at over 150,000/year pace by the end of 2023.

Before you buy one: Tess-Lah

After you buy one: Tezz-lah (followed by an eyeroll from everyone in earshot)

Tesla is named after Nikola Tesla (/ˈtɛslə/ TESS-lə; Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла,[2] pronounced [nǐkola têsla];[a] 10 July [O.S. 28 June] 1856 – 7 January 1943).

If Elon says it's "Tezla", then Nikola "Tesla" is saying it wrong.

I've updated Wikipedia, you're welcome

This is correct and ends the debate.

Elon says Tezla because he’s South African. He’s lost most of his accent but they have a few nuances like that.

He also didn’t invent the company.
And he also discussed this and agreed on Z and double S…
I just go with the actual pronunciation indicating above by SsunnyDay
