6. 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 forwardlooking 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
