text: Litigation Related to Directors’ Compensation 
  
  On June 17, 2020, a purported Tesla stockholder filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, 
  
  purportedly on behalf of Tesla, against certain of Tesla’s current and former directors regarding compensation awards granted 
  to Tesla’s directors, other than Elon Musk, between 2017 and 2020. The suit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and 
  unjust enrichment and seeks declaratory and injunctive relief, unspecified damages and other relief. Defendants filed their 
  answer on September 17, 2020. 
  
  On July 14, 2023, the parties filed a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement, which does not involve 
  
  an admission of any wrongdoing by any party. If the settlement is approved by the Court, this action will be fully settled and 
  dismissed with prejudice. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Tesla provided notice of the proposed settlement to 
  stockholders of record as of July 14, 2023. The Court held a hearing regarding the settlement on October 13, 2023, after which 
  it took the settlement and plaintiff counsels’ fee request under advisement. On August 14, 2024, the parties submitted a joint 
  letter requesting that the Court approve and enter final judgment with respect to the settlement, and decide the fee request at a 
  later date. The settlement is not expected to have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial 
  position.
