Risk Assessment Framework

Strategic & Market Risks

• Market Dynamics: Demand for electric vehicles and adoption of autonomous driving solutions may not meet expectations or may develop slower than anticipated. The automotive industry is cyclical and sensitive to shifting consumer trends, political and regulatory uncertainty, inflationary pressures, rising energy prices, interest rate fluctuations, and enterprise customer liquidity.
• Technology Disruption: Risks include delays in developing, launching, and ramping production of new products, services, and features, particularly driver assistance systems, autonomous driving solutions (Robotaxi, Cybercab), and AI robots (Bots, Optimus). There is also a risk of misalignment between product goals (e.g., 2025 CEO Performance Award) and future consumer demand.
• Customer Concentration: While not quantified, the Company acknowledges dependency risks and the need for diversification efforts.

Operational & Execution Risks

• Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Dependence on thousands of global suppliers, including single-source providers, exposes the Company to component shortages. Risks include unexpected changes in business conditions, raw material price inflation (e.g., lithium, nickel, copper), labor issues, trade policies, natural disasters, health epidemics, and cyberattacks. The rapid advancement in AI demands exponentially greater compute, memory, energy, and thermal resources, which may be insufficient or unaffordable.
• Geographic Concentration: International operations, particularly in the U.S., China, and Europe, expose the Company to unfavorable and uncertain regulatory, political, economic, tax, and labor conditions.
• Capacity Constraints: Potential issues or delays in meeting projected construction timelines, costs, and production ramps at new and existing factories, as well as challenges in growing global sales, delivery, installation, servicing, and vehicle charging networks.
• Product Defects: Products or features may contain design or manufacturing defects (software or hardware), leading to performance failures, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, and significant warranty expenses. Lithium-ion battery cells pose a risk of rapid energy release, potentially causing safety issues or fires.
• Human Capital: Inability to attract, hire, and retain key employees and qualified personnel, including a high dependence on Elon Musk. A competitive labor market for automotive and technology (including AI) talent, and potential disruptions from union activities, pose risks.
• Cybersecurity: Information technology systems and data, including those of service providers, are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and security incidents, potentially resulting in data breaches, intellectual property theft, litigation, regulatory investigations, and reputational damage. Unauthorized control or manipulation of product systems could also erode confidence.

Financial & Regulatory Risks

• Market & Financial Risks: Financial results may vary significantly due to fluctuations in operating costs. There is no guarantee that additional funds will be available when needed, or that cash flow will be sufficient to cover indebtedness. Debt agreements contain covenant restrictions that may limit business operations. The Company is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Risks associated with vehicle financing programs include accurately projecting residual values and managing customer credit risk. Potential forced sales of common stock by Elon Musk could cause stock price declines.
• Regulatory & Compliance Risks: Demand for products and services is impacted by government and economic incentives, which may be reduced or eliminated (e.g., Inflation Reduction Act modified by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)). The Company is subject to evolving environmental, occupational, health, safety, and autonomous vehicle regulations globally, which can impose substantial costs or restrictions. State laws regulating automobile manufacturers and dealers may challenge the direct sales model. Battery safety and disposal regulations, as well as solar energy regulations (e.g., net metering changes), also pose compliance risks. Non-compliance with U.S. and international privacy and consumer protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) could result in significant penalties. The Company is subject to various governmental investigations and legal proceedings, including those related to the 2018 CEO Performance Award, Directors’ Compensation, alleged discrimination and harassment, and alleged misrepresentations regarding Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technologies.

Geopolitical & External Risks

• Geopolitical Exposure: Operations in various jurisdictions, particularly the U.S., China, and Europe, are subject to political uncertainty, trade restrictions, customs regulations, tariffs, and price or exchange controls.
• Trade Relations: U.S. trade policy alterations, including heightened import tariffs and retaliatory measures, can impact supply chain costs and product availability.
• Sanctions & Export Controls: Compliance with sanctions and export controls can limit business operations.
• External Events: Operations can be adversely affected by natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods), wars, health epidemics, power outages, or other events outside of the Company's control.

• Geographic Tax Planning: Tesla, Inc. intends to indefinitely reinvest its foreign earnings and cash unless repatriation results in no or minimal tax costs. The estimated unrecognized withholding tax liability associated with indefinitely reinvested earnings is approximately $371 million.
• Tax Reform Impact: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was enacted to promote clean energy and electric vehicles. However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted on July 4, 2025, substantially curtailed IRA incentives by repealing or accelerating the sunset of certain tax credits and imposing more stringent eligibility requirements. The OBBBA also renamed Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) to Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income (NCTI) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
• Tax Credits: As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1.83 billion in federal research and development tax credits, $1.38 billion in federal renewable energy tax credits, and $1.21 billion in state research and development tax credits (primarily in California).

Insurance & Risk Transfer

Risk Management Framework:

• Insurance Coverage: Tesla, Inc. generally self-insures against the risk of product liability claims for vehicle exposure. The Company does not maintain as much insurance coverage as many other companies, and in some cases, does not maintain any at all. Existing policies may include significant deductibles or self-insured retentions, policy limitations, and exclusions.
• Risk Transfer Mechanisms: Not explicitly detailed beyond self-insurance.
