Item 8.01Other Events. 

 

An immaterial error that overstated the cost and resulting net book value of the Supercharger network was included in Tesla Motors, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Form 10-K”). In Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Management Opportunities, Challenges and Risks—Trends in Cash Flow, Capital Expenditures and Operating Expenses, the net book value of the Supercharger network as of December 31, 2015 should have been stated as $166.6 million.

 

This error was limited to the section of the Form 10-K referenced above, and did not impact the consolidated financial statements or the notes included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Management has determined this error to be immaterial.
