the owner of selected assets of General Motors. In October 2010, we completed the purchase and received title to the facility and land. The total
cash paid was $42.0 million. The purchase totaled 210 acres, or approximately 55% of the land at the site, and included all of the manufacturing
facilities located thereon totaling approximately 5.4 million square feet. We intend to use the facility and manufacturing assets for the production
of our Model S vehicle and to build our future vehicles. We are currently planning and building out this facility. We are required to comply with
environmental regulations in connection with our Tesla Factory in Fremont, California. In October 2010, we and NUMMI amended the May
2010 purchase agreement to include the transfer to us of certain operating permits, or emission credits, for additional consideration of $6.5
million. We completed the transfer of these permits in October 2010.
Outside of our Tesla Factory, we do not currently own any of our facilities. The following table sets forth the location, approximate size
and primary use of our significant leased facilities:
We currently intend to add new facilities or expand our existing facilities as we add employees and expand our production organization.
We believe that suitable additional or alternative space will be available in the future on commercially reasonable terms to accommodate our
foreseeable future expansion.
From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings that arise from the normal course of business activities. In addition, from
time to time, third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us in the form of letters and other forms of
communication. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
prospects, cash flows, financial position and brand.
