Being an automotive engineer and testing cars for almost 25 years...Short answer is NO, especially in a Tesla
Long answer: NO this is for marine 4-stroke engines, the description says on the jug and the Quicksilver Marine website : "It exceeds NMMA® FC-W® standards for non-catalyzed outboard, sterndrive and inboard engines" meaning it is not compatible with engines that have a catalytic converter/catalyst. So it probably has more Sulfur/sulfates that may poison your catalytic converter depending on the content Assuming you have a catalyst on your car and/or you don't care about smelling sulfur everywhere you go. FYI- A catalytic converter is like a sponge absorbing harmful emissions in the exhaust and catalyzes it to form less harmful gasses. However with excess sulfur the catalytic converter will absorb the sulfur and poison the catalyst, rendering it useless. At some point when it is overwhelmed with sulfur and with high exhaust temperatures some will be released all at once, smelling like rotten eggs.
But use whatever floats your boat.
