Usage notes

 * The SI brochure (Sec 5.3) notes that [u]nit names are normally printed in upright type and they are treated like ordinary nouns. This includes the normal rules of plural formation.
 * The NIST Guide for the Use of SI (Sec. 9.2) states: Plural unit  names  are  used  when  they  are  required  by  the  rules  of  English  grammar.  They  are  normally  formed  regularly,  for  example,  “henries”  is  the  plural  of  henry.  According  to  Ref. [6],  the  following  plurals  are  irregular:  Singular —lux,  hertz,  siemens;  Plural —lux,  hertz,  siemens.  (See  also  Sec. 9.7.) There is no special exception for tesla.
 * When using the unit name tesla as an adjective, it is normally not pluralized. Compare the following:
 * 1) The nine-volt battery provides a potential difference of nine volts.
 * 2) The two-tesla magnet produces a flux density of two teslas.
 * Despite this distinction, the nonstandard plural forms Tesla or tesla are frequently found in scientific and lay literature. (See above quotation.)
