There technically never was a “Tesla Inc.” with separate branches. There was a bunch of essentially unrelated companies named “Tesla something” that used the same brand and (obviously) traded with each other. There was similar pattern with “ČKD” and “Škoda”.
Some of these companies still exist under the original name (eg. Tesla Stropkov), some ceased to exist, one of them did slight rebranding (Teco = TEsla KOlin), some of them did more extensive rebranding and restructuralization and some of them were integrated into multinational electronics manufacturers (Philips, Motorola, Infineon, TDK, Sony, Foxconn…). Somewhat interestingly the part of Tesla that originally was Czechoslovak branch of Philips is today owned by NXP, but it didn't happen directly but through Motorola and Freescale.
