Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this communication, including statements regarding the Tesla Gigafactory and its development plans, production capacity, cost savings, costs, timeline and vehicle production estimates, are “forward-looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, and as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, actual events or results may differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Various important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including potential difficulties in finding a suitable Tesla Gigafactory site, obtaining required permits, negotiating terms with technology and other partners, maintaining implementation schedules, output and cost estimates and vehicle demand. Please refer to Tesla’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings contain and identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in Tesla’s forward-looking statements.
