A typical post picks up 5.6K interactions against 25M followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 882K times each, and 0.632% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.56% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 78% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 81K interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Tesla's engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 45% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.022%, Tesla sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,261 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,137 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 5.6K interactions against 25M followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 36 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 3,739 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 882K times each, and 0.632% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.56% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.8 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 36 posts sampled, 78% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 14% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 81K interactions, about 14x its own typical post.

What is Tesla's engagement rate on X?
Tesla (@Tesla) has an engagement rate of 0.022%, based on the median interactions across 36 original posts from the last 30 days against 24,767,005 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.022%, Tesla sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,261 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @Tesla have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,739 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @Tesla post?
Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.83 posts per day across the measured window.
