Like Apple and Amazon, Tesla opened a health clinic for employees

Electric car company Tesla has opened a healthcare clinic for its employees to receive care on site at headquarters, CEO Elon Musk revealed during the recent third quarter earnings call with analysts.

Tesla joins the ranks of several other large employers in the United States adding healthcare right alongside their operations. Amazon and Apple have both opened clinics to meet the needs of employees at its headquarters.

According to Musk, the clinics offer "immediate first-class health care available right on the spot,” CNBC reported.

On-site medical care is an ongoing trend among large technology companies, but Apple and Amazon both have interests within the healthcare space through services and/or products.
