Would you call Tesla a tech company?

Yes. They make and sell technology to customers.
Tesla is a tech company, and Facebook/Amazon/Google are not? Maybe your definition is “right” in some sense, but is also useless, given that it’s not the definition anyone else is using.
Then under your definition, Otis elevators and GE and Boeing and are also tech companies.
boeing has lots and lots and lots of software. they aren't a consumer electronics company or engagement optimization company, but they sure are tech.
Yes, they are.
