43		-The company offer loans and leases for Its vehicles in certain markets in North America, Europe and Asia primarily through various financial institutions. The company offered resale value guarantees or similar buy-back terms to all direct customers who purchase vehicles and who financed their vehicle through one of Its specified commercial banking partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2016, this program is available only in certain international markets. Resale value guarantees available for exercise within the 12 months following June 30, 2017 total $222.9 million in value.
44	44
45		-Vehicle deliveries with the resale value guarantee do not impact its near-term cash flows and liquidity, since The company receive the full amount of cash for the vehicle sales price at delivery. However, this program requires the deferral of revenues and costs into future periods as they are considered leases for accounting purposes. While The company do not assume any credit risk related to the customer, if a customer exercises the option to return the vehicle to it, The company are exposed to liquidity risk that the resale value of vehicles under these programs may be lower than Its guarantee, or the volume of vehicles returned to it may be higher than Its estimates or The company may be unable to resell the used cars in a timely manner, all of which could adversely impact Its cash flows. Based on current market demand for Its cars, The company estimate the resale prices for Its vehicles will continue to be above Its resale value guarantee amounts. Should market values of Its vehicles or customer demand decrease, these estimates may be impacted materially.
	98	+== Energy Generation and Storage ==
46	46
47		-The company currently offer vehicle leases in the U.S. directly from Tesla Finance, Its captive financing entity, as well as through leasing partners. Leasing through Tesla Finance is available in 39 states and the District of Columbia. The company also offer financing arrangements through Its entities in Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. Leasing through Its captive financing entities and Its leasing partners exposes it to residual value risk and will adversely impact Its near-term operating results by requiring the deferral of revenues and costs into future periods under lease accounting. In addition, for leases offered directly from Its captive financing entities (but not for those offered through Its leasing partners), The company only receive a limited portion of cash for the vehicle price at delivery and will assume customer credit risk. The company plan to continue expanding Its financing offerings, including Its lease financing options and the financial sources to support them, and to support the overall financing needs of Its customers. To the extent that The company are unable to arrange such options for Its customers on terms that are attractive, Its sales, financial results and cash flows could be negatively impacted.

The company are not a party to the loan agreement between the customer and the third-party lender, and the third-party lender has no recourse against it with respect to the loan.
52	52
53		-//Gigafactory 1//
	104	+Powerwall and Megapack are its lithium-ion battery energy storage products. Powerwall is designed to store energy at a home or small commercial facility. Megapack is an energy storage solution for commercial, industrial, utility and energy generation customers, multiple of which may be grouped together to form larger installations of gigawatt hours (“GWh”) or greater capacity.
54	54
55		-The company is developing Gigafactory 1 as a facility where The company work together with Its suppliers to integrate production of battery material, cells, modules, battery packs and drive units in one location for vehicles and energy storage products. The company broke ground on Gigafactory 1 in June 2014, began assembling Its energy storage products in the first portion of the facility in the fourth quarter of 2015 and began production of lithium-ion battery cells for Its energy storage products in the first quarter of 2017. At Gigafactory 1, The company are now producing drive units, as well as company's proprietary form factor cells, which are then assembled into battery packs, for Model 3. The company also continue to invest in construction of the building at Gigafactory 1 and in production equipment for battery, module and pack production.
56	56
57		-Panasonic has partnered with it on Gigafactory 1 with investments in the production equipment that it uses to manufacture and supply it with battery cells. Under Its arrangement with Panasonic, The company plan to purchase the full output from their production equipment at negotiated prices. As these terms convey to it the right to use, as defined in ASC 840, Leases, their production equipment, The company consider them to be leased assets when production commences. This results in it recording the value of their production equipment within property, plant and equipment, net, on Its consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding liability recorded to financing obligations. For all suppliers and partners for which The company plan to purchase the full output from their production equipment located at Gigafactory 1, The company will apply similar accounting. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, The company recorded $115.5 million and $266.5 million, respectively, on Its consolidated balance sheet.
	107	+The company also continue to develop software capabilities for remotely controlling and dispatching its energy storage systems across a wide range of markets and applications, including through its real-time energy control and optimization platforms.
58	58
59		-While The company currently believe that Its progress at Gigafactory 1 will allow it to reach Its production targets, Its ultimate ability to do so will require it to resolve the types of challenges that are typical of a production ramp, such as those that The companyhave experienced to date, including at Gigafactory 1. Moreover, given the size and complexity of this undertaking, it is possible that future events could result in the cost of building and operating Gigafactory 1 exceeding Its current expectations and Gigafactory 1 taking longer to expand than The company currently anticipate. In addition, The company continue to expand production capacity at Its Fremont Factory and are exploring additional production capacity in Asia and Europe.
