WEBCAST INFORMATION
Tesla will provide a live webcast of its fourth quarter and full year 20 19 financial results conference call beginning at 3:30 p.m. PT on January 29, 2020, at ir.tesla.com. This webcast will also be available for replay for approximately

CERTAIN TERMS
When used in this update, certain terms have the following meanings. Our vehicle deliveries include only vehicles that have been transferred to end customers with all paperwork correctly completed. Our energy product
deployment volume includes both customer units installed and equipment sales; we report installations at time of commissioning for storage projects or inspection for solar projects, and equipment sales at time of delivery.
"Adjusted EBITDA" is equal to (i) net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before (ii) interest expense, (iii) (benefit) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation, amortization and impairment and (v) stock-based
compensation, which is the same measurement for this term pursuant to the performance-based stock option award granted to our CEO in 20 18.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis to supplement our consolidated financial results. Our non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP net income
(loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders on a basic per share basis, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow and non-GAAP automotive gross
margin. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning
purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to Tesla's historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Management also believes that
presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it allows investors greater transparency to the information used by
Tesla management in its financial and operational decision-making so that investors can see through the eyes of Tesla management regarding important financial metrics that Tesla management uses to run the business as well as
allows investors to better understand Tesla's performance. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported
under U.S. GAAP when understanding Tesla's operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided above.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this update, including statements in the "Outlook" section; statements relating to the development, production, volumes, demand, deliveries, pricing, features and/or timing of existing and future Tesla products

on our evolving strategy for product sales, service, charging and other customer infrastructure; the unavailability, reduction or elimination of government and economic incentives for electric vehicles and energy products; potential
difficulties in performing and realizing potential benefits under definitive agreements for our existing and future manufacturing facilities; our ability to attract and retain key employees and qualified personnel; our ability to maintain
the security of our information and product systems; our compliance with various regulations and laws applicable to our operations and products, which may evolve from time to time; risks relating to our indebtedness and financing
