The Amendment of the Agreement will allow for a minor change to the layout of the supercharger stations with no change to the 24 total spaces provided. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Supercharger Agreement (Agreement No. 7213) with Tesla, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE: A search of records available through the Secretary of State of California shows that Tesla, Inc., is a Delaware corporation, and its corporate officers are Elon Musk as CEO, Al Prescott as Secretary, and Zachary Kirkhorn as CFO. According to a Corporate Disclosure Statement filed May 29, 2020, disclosed the following as Directors: Elon Musk, Robyn Denholm, Ira Ehrenpreis, Larry Ellison, Antonio Gracias, Steve Jurvetson, Hiromichi Mizono, James Murdoch, Kimbal Musk, and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson. Also listed are the following Executive Officers: Zachary Kirkhorn, Jerome Guillen and Drew Baglino. BACKGROUND: On September 20, 2018, the City Council approved an agreement with Tesla, Inc., to provide for their installation, operation and maintenance of new supercharger stations in the City's Downtown Parking Garage. Specifically, the agreement provides for Tesla to r ···•-"( )i ~Jo -1.. ? arc.,.~,~ •------ City Council Staff Report January 14, 2021 -- Page 2 Tesla Supercharger Agreement install up to 24 spaces in two phases, with the initial phase consisting of 11 spaces and the second phase consisting of 13 spaces located as shown in Figure 1 below.

A copy of the agreement is included as Attachment 1. Tesla completed installation of the 11 original spaces in its first phase and opened them for use in mid-June 2019. STAFF ANALYSIS: The agreement allows for Tesla to exercise its right to expand the number of dedicated charging stations to include the 13 spaces in Phase 2, and Tesla has advised the City of its intention to expand. However, Tesla has requested a slight modification of the layout of the expansion spaces by relocating 1 of the 13 spaces in Phase 2 next to the 11 original spaces in Phase 1, as shown in Figure 2 on the next page. 2 City Council Staff Report January 14, 2021 -- Page 3 Tesla Supercharger Agreement Expansion Option Stalls 0 I I I ' ~ n I II L i!

An amendment to the agreement with Tesla has been prepared to revise the description and layout of the charging stations to accommodate the relocation of 1 of the expansion stalls to be adjacent to the originally enabled stalls. All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain unchanged. A copy of the amendment is included as Attachment 2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 (a) projects consist of "Interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances," and approval of this agreement providing for the installation and operation of a Tesla Supercharger Station is considered categorically exempt from CEQA. 3 City Council Staff Report January 14, 2021 -- Page 4 Tesla Supercharger Agreement FISCAL IMPACT: No impact.

  • Tesla's Elon Musk
    TESLA’S ELON MUSK: A TWEET TO BURN THE SHORTS? PART A Introduction August 7, 2018 While driving himself to the airport,i Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk wrote and circulated the following tweet to over 22 million followers: “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.” The tweet would have immediately piqued the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) interest. Given that Tesla was headquartered in Palo Alto, California, the SEC’s San Francisco Office (led by Regional Director Jina Choi) would have been responsible for looking into it. After a decade and a half at the SEC, Choi had developed a knack for quickly identifying securities law violations. Just in 2018, she and her team of 130 direct reports brought enforcement actions against Theranos and its CEO Elizabeth Holmes for an “elaborate years-long fraud,” and Yahoo! for failing to disclose one of the world’s largest data breaches.ii Two possibilities would have jumped out at Choi. Musk either: (1) misled public investors; or (2) secured approximately $70 billion in financing, thus positioning Tesla for the largest leveraged buy- out (“LBO”) in history.iii Unless Musk had secured financing at $420 per share, his tweet was a false statement, and Choi would begin to build a case against Musk for violating Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the securities laws. A classic example of a Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 violation involves a company “executive making false statements in order to drive up share price.”iv Choi would have also had to consider Musk’s motivations and the impact of the tweet on Tesla’s stock price.

    Somnifères, dérapages... L'annus horribilis d'Elon Musk Vincent Lamigeon 1,212 mots 3 mars 2019 15:19 Challenges.fr CHALCOM Français Copyright 2019 Challenges - All Rights Reserved Ses écarts lui ont coûté la présidence de Tesla. Sous la pression du gendarme de la Bourse, il a confié le volant à un duo de managers et diversifié son conseil. Mais il reste tout-puissant au sein du groupe. C’était en août dernier. Une éternité, à l’échelle temporelle d’Elon Musk. Dans une sidérante interview au New York Times, le patron de Tesla confessait avoir passé « l’année la plus difficile et la plus douloureuse de sa carrière ». Oscillant sans cesse entre rire et larmes, le milliardaire californien racontait ses semaines de 120 heures. L’absence de vacances depuis 2001. Le recours à un puissant somnifère, l’Ambien, pour grappiller quelques heures de sommeil. Les nuits passées à l’usine Tesla de Fremont, près de San Francisco. La douleur de ne plus voir ses enfants. Interrogé sur sa forme physique, Musk, 47 ans dont une quinzaine chez Tesla, reconnaissait être au bord du gouffre. « Des amis sont venus me voir et ils sont vraiment inquiets », assurait-il. Il y avait de quoi. Sous pression des marchés pour réussir la montée en cadence de la production de la berline Model 3, Musk avait multiplié les sorties de route tout au long de l’été 2018. Vexé par le refus des sauveteurs d’utiliser son prototype de sous-marin destiné à sauver les enfants thaïlandais coincés dans une grotte, le milliardaire avait traité un spéléologue britannique de « pédophile ».
