Depends on whether your utility is from the green 21st Century, or the brown 19th. No it doesn't. One reason is that coal produces much more energy in the 21s century then solar and wind combined (and will still do so for the lifetime of electric cars sold now) so its as much or more "21st century" then they are. But lets go with how you would define it anyway. Fine "21st century" means "solar and wind" for the rest of the this post. Tesla isn't just selling cars to people served by "your utility" They are selling cars across the US. Coal accounts for 39% of electricity production in the US ( eia.gov ) More electric cars means less use of oil (which is only used for about 1%, but more use of coal, no matter how "21st century" your utility is.
