That's not the way trademarks work.. Tesla has a trademark only in the fields they compete in: solar, cars, batteries. They can't stop you from starting Tesla Coffee Shop, or (in this case) Tesla VR suit.

#35Putting "Tesla" in the name seems like you're trying to use the carmaker's brand to bolster your own brand. Kind of shady.

Tesla VR suit name is creating a recipe for failure: if you think you can make a long-term viable VR suit company without ever using batteries (always tethered!) limits future growth potential greatly.

But an electric carmaker using the name Tesla seems disingenuous in the first place.
What if I used "Turing" as the name of my cybersecurity/AI company?

I was mostly being facetious, but the reality is that things are a little more complicated than that in the trademark business.
The court will start by asking one question along the lines of, "Is there a good chance that a typical customer in the market for either product will be confused regarding the origin of the goods?" The weasel words in that question will leave plenty of room for argument on both sides.
(IANAL, but have had cause to look into this question recently.)

That's also not the way trademarks work. To violate Tesla's trademark they need compete in the battery market.
Trademarks don't get you rights to every market that utilizes the type of item you sell.
