* [[Tesla, Inc.|Tesla]] claims to use Inconel in place of steel in the main battery pack contactor of its [[Tesla Model S|Model S]] so that it remains springy under the heat of heavy current. Tesla claims that this allows these upgraded vehicles to safely increase the maximum pack output from 1300 to 1500 [[ampere]]s, allowing for an increase in power output (acceleration) Tesla refers to as "[[Ludicrous Mode]]".<ref name=ludiInco>{{cite web|url=http://electrek.co/2015/07/22/elon-musks-recent-ludicrous-announcement-hints-at-more-synergy-between-tesla-and-spacex/ |title=Elon Musk's recent "Ludicrous" announcement hints at more synergy between Tesla and SpaceX - Electrek|work=Electrek |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150912040737/http://electrek.co/2015/07/22/elon-musks-recent-ludicrous-announcement-hints-at-more-synergy-between-tesla-and-spacex/ |archive-date=12 September 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/three-dog-day|title=Three Dog Day|website=www.teslamotors.com}}</ref>
* [[Ford Motor Company]] is using Inconel to make the turbine wheel in the turbocharger of its [[EcoBlue]] diesel engines introduced in 2016.<ref>{{cite news |title=New Ford EcoBlue turbodiesel engine debuts amid diesel woes |date=April 26, 2016 |publisher=Autoblog.com |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/26/ford-ecoblue-turbodiesel-engine-transit-van/}}</ref>
* The exhaust [[Poppet valve|valves]] on NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car drag racing engines are often made of Inconel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nhra.com/news/2020/piping-power-how-choose-best-headers-your-combination |title=Piping for Power: How to choose the best headers for your combination |first=Evan |last=J.

* [[Ford Australia]] used Inconel valves in their turbocharged [[Ford Barra engine|Barra]] engines. These valves have been proven very reliable, holding in excess of 1900 horsepower.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hKpRTrGT54 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/2hKpRTrGT54 |archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live |title=Inside a 7-second Ford Barra street car <nowiki>|</nowiki> fullBOOST |website=YouTube |date=2021-05-09}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
* [[BMW]] has since used Inconel in the exhaust manifold of its high performance luxury car, the BMW M5 E34 with the S38 engine, withstanding higher temperatures and reducing backpressure.<ref>{{cite journal |first1=Abhinav |last1=Shard |author2=Deepshikha |first3=Vishal |last3=Gupta |first4=M P |last4=Garg |title=The Comprehensive Review on machining of Inconel 718 |journal=[[Journal of Physics: Conference Series |IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering]] |date=2021 |volume=1033 |issue=1 |page=012069 |doi=10.1088/1757-899X/1033/1/012069 |bibcode=2021MS&E.1033a2069S |s2cid=234133836 |doi-access=free}}</ref>
* [[Jaguar Cars]] has fit, in their [[Jaguar F-Type]] SVR high performance sports car, a new lightweight Inconel titanium exhaust system as standard which withstands higher peak temperatures, reduces backpressure and eliminates {{convert|16|kg|abbr=on}} of mass from the vehicle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jaguarusa.com/about-jaguar/news/jaguar-introduces-f-type-svr-ahead-of-geneva-debut.html|title=Jaguar Introduces Ultra-High Performance F-Type SVR ahead of Geneva Debut|website=www.jaguarusa.com|access-date=2016-06-29|archive-date=2016-05-09|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509140958/http://www.jaguarusa.com/about-jaguar/news/jaguar-introduces-f-type-svr-ahead-of-geneva-debut.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* [[DeLorean Motor Company (Texas)|DeLorean Motor Company]] offers Inconel replacements for failure prone OE trailing arm bolts on the [[DMC DeLorean|DMC-12]]. Failure of these bolts can result in loss of the vehicle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://support.delorean.com/kb/a72/trailing-arm-bolts.aspx|title=Trailing Arm Bolts|website=www.delorean.com}}</ref>

Rolled Inconel was frequently used as the recording medium by engraving in [[flight recorder|black box]] recorders on aircraft.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/5729507/the-secret-sauce-of-airplanes-black-box|title=The Secret Sauce of an Airplane's Black Box|first=Brian|last=Barrett|date=10 January 2011 }}</ref>

Alternatives to the use of Inconel in chemical applications such as scrubbers, columns, reactors, and pipes are [[Hastelloy]], [[perfluoroalkoxy]] (PFA) lined carbon steel or [[fiber reinforced plastic]].
