Pronouncing Tesla

I don’t know anyone that pronounces it that way. Its Por-Sha

As for Tesla, Elon can pronounce it anyway he wants but he didn’t found Tesla Motors, so his way bears no weight. However, Nikola Tesla was of Serbian heritage and my Google translate seems to prounounce it with a Z. Any Serbs out there that can verify?
I always have and always will pronounce it por-shhhhh, i miss typed my por-shay from por-sha
 
Everybody I know in northern California, everyone who knows me and has bought a Tesla because of me, pronounces it the way I pronounce it: TESS la. Do I care how Musk pronounces it? I do not. As someone else pointed out, he's from S. Africa, and he did not invent the Tesla car.
But, it's still the Best Car Ever. And I'm not biased.
