EXPLANATORY NOTE

On January 29, 2026, Tesla, Inc. (“Tesla,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Original Form 10-K”). The Original Form 10-K omitted Part III, Items 10 (Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance), 11 (Executive Compensation), 12 (Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters), 13 (Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence) and 14 (Principal Accountant Fees and Services) in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which provides that such information may be either incorporated by reference from the registrant’s definitive proxy statement or included in an amendment to Form 10-K, in either case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) not later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year.

The Board of Directors has not yet established the date of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders. When the date is established, the Company will announce it in its filings made with the SEC. Consequently, we currently expect that our definitive proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders will be filed later than the 120th day after the end of the last fiscal year. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) is being filed solely to:

This Amendment does not otherwise change or update any of the disclosures set forth in the Original Form 10-K and, except as otherwise noted, does not otherwise reflect any events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
