RE:
	
Gigafactory Lead Participant Letter Requesting Incentives 




Dear Mr. Hill, 

Enclosed with this letter is the application to the State of Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (the “Office”), as required under Section 11 of S.B. No. 1 (2014 Special Session) (referred to herein as the “Act”), for certain incentives related to Tesla Motors, Inc’s proposed Gigafactory to be developed in Storey County, Nevada (the “Project”). The purpose of this letter is to comply with the application checklist provided by your office. 

1) Participants: 

The Lead Participant in the Project is Tesla Motors, Inc. (“Tesla”). Tesla is an active Nevada foreign corporation. 

Panasonic Corporation has entered into an agreement with the Lead Participant to provide certain manufacturing and supply functions as well as invest in associated equipment, machinery, and other manufacturing tools at the Project. As such, Panasonic Corporation is expected to be a Participant in the Project. 

Certain affiliate entities of the Lead Participant and of Panasonic Corporation, which presently exist or may be organized at a later date, will likely own certain real and personal property related to the Project and may participate in the operation of the Project. Likewise the Lead Participant and Panasonic Corporation may enter into other agreements with suppliers, vendors, customers, service providers, and related businesses for the provision of certain functions related to the Project. These additional entities may be deemed “Participants” for purposes of the Act. The Lead Participant will notify the Office as such additional entities become Participants with respect to the Project, and request a determination by the Office that said Participants are engaged in a common purpose pursuant to the Act. 

 

[***] Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

2) Abatements and Incentives Requested: 

The Lead Participant, on behalf of itself and the other Participants at the Project, for the benefit of the Lead Participant and the Project, hereby requests any and all abatements and incentives available under the Act, including, but not limited to, the following: 

(i) CREDITS—Up to One Hundred Ninety Five Million ($195,000,00.00) in transferable credits against any tax imposed by chapters 363A and 363B of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”); the gaming license fees imposed by the provisions of NRS 463.370; any tax imposed by chapter 680B of NRS; or any combination of those fees and taxes. 

(ii) ABATEMENTS—Abatement of the following sales and use taxes, property taxes, and employer excise taxes: 

(a) SALES AND USE TAXES: 


	
• 
	
Local School Support Tax, NRS Chapter 374 





	
•
	
Basic City-County Relief Tax, NRS Chapter 377 





	
• 
	
Supplemental City-County Relief Tax, NRS Chapter 377 




(b) PROPERTY: 


	
• 
	
Taxes on real and personal property levied by Chapter 361 of NRS. 




(c) EMPLOYER EXCISE TAXES: 


	
• 
	
Taxes imposed on the wages paid by an employer pursuant to Chapter 363B of NRS. 




(iii) REIMBURSEMENT PAYMENT—Reimbursement payments to the Lead Participant in an amount equal to the sum of each of the following tax items paid to the State or Storey County, as applicable, from any Participant within the Economic Diversification District for the Project: 


	
• 
	
Sales Tax, NRS Chapter 372 





	
•
	
Promotion of Tourism, Chapter NRS 377A 





	
• 
	
Infrastructure, NRS Chapter 377B 





	
•
	
Tricounty Railway Commission, Local Acts including Nevada Commission for the Reconstruction of the V&T Railway Act of 1993 – Chapter 566 of the Statutes of Nevada 




3) Significance of Abatements and Incentives on Decision to Locate: 

The availability of abatements and incentives played a significant role in the decision of the Lead Participant to locate the Project in the State of Nevada. While many other factors played a significant role in the location decision, including workforce, availability of a suitable project site, and logistics considerations, among others, without the availability of the abatements and incentives offered by the State of Nevada and Storey County, the State would not have been a competitive option for location of the Project.

4) How the Project will Promote Economic Development of the State: 

The Project is expected to have a profound impact on the economic development and the economic diversity of the State of Nevada as described in the 44 page report prepared by Applied Economics for the Office, dated September 2014. Portions of such report are summarized as follows: 

The Project is expected to create a total of 6,500 jobs within the next four years with an average wage estimated at $26.16 per hour. Capital investment is expected to total nearly $5 Billion over that same period, with an additional $5 Billion in capital investment planned through the year 2028. Construction of the Project is expected to result in a one-time $2.4 Billion economic impact. Operation of the Project is expected to result in an annual impact in excess of $5 Billion at full implementation. Overall, the Project may generate in excess of $100 Billion in economic impact over the next twenty years. 

This impact is more than numbers – it fits firmly within the State of Nevada’s Plan for Excellence in Economic Development (the “Plan”). The first economic development liability listed in the Plan is an “economy oriented toward consumption sectors.” The Project will serve to re-orient the State of Nevada’s economy towards production as the Project exports its finished goods out of the state and internationally. Additionally, a global consortium of suppliers and partners are likely to play significant roles in the Project. The technologically-advanced nature of the Project and its resultant products will support the State of Nevada’s innovation and technology focus as outlined in the Plan. Finally, the Project represents the top-tier of several targeted sectors. The Project will utilize and develop clean energy. It may require expansion of existing mining operations and potentially encourage the development of new ones. It will be an advanced manufacturing operation, which will also entail significant logistics operations. As such, the Project will have a significant, positive impact on several of targeted sectors described in the Plan. 

5) Major Markets for Product Distribution: 

The primary market for distribution of the lithium-ion batteries to be produced at the Project is the Tesla automobile manufacturing plant located in Fremont, California. Once the lithiumion batteries are installed in the Tesla automobiles, such vehicles are distributed throughout the United States and internationally. Additionally, certain other industries such as automotive manufacturers and suppliers, electric utilities, and other power generation and storage companies located throughout the United States and internationally will likely become major markets for the products produced at the Project.

6) Job Growth Plans: 

The Project intends to include approximately 6,500 employees by the end of calendar year 2022. The job growth plan is more fully described in the enclosed Operations Employment Schedule Form. Tesla is well aware of the requirement that at least 50% of the jobs at the Project be filled by residents of the State of Nevada. 

7) Business History and Plans: 

Tesla is a U.S.-based, American-owned manufacturer of battery electric vehicles (“EV”), founded in 2003 and headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. Tesla, which employs more than 8,000 workers worldwide, designs and manufactures EVs, as well as EV powertrains for partners such as Toyota and Daimler (makers of the Mercedes-Benz brand) and stationary storage systems for commercial sale. Tesla successfully launched the Roadster in 2008 with its industry-leading efficiency (245 mile range on a single charge), performance (0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds), and design. The Tesla Model S, winner of numerous industry awards, was launched in 2012 and is built entirely at a formerly shuttered GM plant in Fremont, CA. 

The Tesla Gigafactory will be the Company’s largest expansion in its history and seeks to double the world’s current manufacturing capacity of battery cells by 2020. 

We look forward to working with you to on the Project.

Gigafactory Scope Narrative 

The Gigafactory scope has not been developed to the point where construction manpower and spending estimates can be made for the entire project. The statements made herein reflect our understanding of the initial phases of the construction effort. Please note that Yates has not currently been contracted to manage the installation of Tesla’s proprietary process equipment so any statements regarding such installation are subject to the direction of Tesla and its manufacturing partners. As the project is further defined, estimates will be updated. 

 


			
	
 
	
 
	
 

	
The Gigafactory will be constructed in multiple phases. To support the phased construction approach and ultimately the full build out, the site development effort is now underway. The building pad is under construction in preparation for structural foundations. Initial site development activities
	
 
	
[***]




include changes to Electric Avenue, storm retention, underground utilities and the construction of internal roads and parking lots. In support of the construction operations, site logistics development is underway consisting of temporary offices, electrical power, fencing, and security. 

The initial construction phases are described as [***] and [***]. The concept layout of the Gigafactory is shown in the exhibit. [***] The placement of process manufacturing equipment will begin [***]. 

 


		
	
 
	
 

	
[***]
	
[***] structural concrete foundations will begin [***], following the construction of the building pad. Structural steel erection will follow closely behind the foundations and will continue into [***]. As structural steel progresses the building envelope; the roofing system, siding and windows, will follow. Following the building




envelope, the mechanical, electrical and process systems begin to advance and will continue to support the manufacturing equipment. As these systems come on line, Tesla’s manufacturing partners will start installing equipment in [***]. The installation and commissioning of the mechanical, electrical and process systems will continue through [***]. 

During the construction of [***] the site development activities will continue to progress, providing access, drainage, parking lots and utility services required for the factory’s operation.

Tesla Motors S.B. 1 Application Support Letter 

Dear Mr. Hill, 

Storey County fully supports the pending application of Tesla Motors, Inc. for participation in provisions of the recently enacted Senate Bill 1 from the 2014 Special Session. We are exceptionally grateful and proud that Tesla Motors has chosen Nevada, Storey County and the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center as the home to their new battery manufacturing facility known as the “Gigafactory”. 

While some might see abated revenues as “lost revenue”, that is a short-sighted outlook. Beyond the almost immediate benefit of jobs creation both during construction and operation, the focus this opportunity has provided our State is almost beyond comprehension. The Tesla project has served as a catalyst that is already driving in additional inquiries and transactions from other companies at unprecedented levels. 

The economic analysis prepared by Applied Economics provides statistical evidence that Tesla’s selection of Nevada will have long-lasting and tremendous positive fiscal benefits thru our entire region. Our interaction with the Tesla Team has consistently proven that they are a highly talented and professional Company that will serve to raise the performance bar in our State. 

As the local government entity with perhaps the most fiscal “impact” initially, we are ready and excited to welcome Tesla to our County and our State. Thank you for your consideration of their application. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information or clarification as may be desired. 

Sincerely, 

 



Pat Whitten 

Storey County Manager

October 14, 2014 

Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development 

808 West Nye Lane 

Carson City, NV 89703 

I am writing to express my full support for Tesla and their request for approval of Sales & Use Tax Abatement, Modified Business Tax Abatement, Personal Property Tax Abatement, Real Property Tax Abatement, Economic Development Rate Rider and Transferable Tax Credits. Although it will be located in Storey County, the Tesla project will result in significant positive impacts on the City of Reno’s economy. As result of Tesla’s announcement to relocate to Northern Nevada, we have seen an increase in businesses evaluating relocation to our community over the past month. The selection of Northern Nevada over the many competing states shows the strength of our business climate and it is critical that we secure the project by providing the necessary abatements. 

It is my understanding that the Tesla project will ultimately result in more than 6,000 jobs with average wages of more than $20 per hour. I have no doubt that these jobs will result in many indirect jobs in Reno. 

I strongly encourage your support of Tesla’s incentive application. 

Sincerely, 

 



Robert A. Cashell, Sr. 

Mayor, City of Reno

Re: Tesla Motors Incentives 

Dear Steve; 

EDAWN hereby supports the application of Tesla Motors, Inc. for the following tax abatement, tax credits and economic development rate rider. 


	
•
	
Up to 100% of Sales & Use Tax until June 30, 2034. 





	
• 
	
Up to 100% abatement of Real Property, Personal Property and Modified Business Tax Abatements until June 30, 2024. 





	
• 
	
Transferable tax credit of $12,500 per permanent, full-time job up to 6,000 jobs (average wage of $22 per hour to qualify). 





	
• 
	
Transferable tax credit of 5% for the first $1 billion investment, and 2.8% of the next $2.5 billion investment. 





	
• 
	
Extension of the Economic Development Rate Rider electric program from five to ten years. 




Tesla Motors is a manufacturer of electric passenger vehicles and will be building one of the largest battery factories in the world at the Tahoe Regional Industrial Center located in Storey County. 

Securing the 5.5 million square foot “Gigafactory” for Nevada was due the efforts of a number of Nevadans, and several factors including the state’s positive business climate, tax structure, cost of living, logistic advantages, and the incentive package recently by our State Legislature. 

The company’s plans involve a factory investment of $1.1 billion and $3.9 billion in initial equipment purchases over a three year period. Additional plans include $5 billion in replacement equipment and upgrades over a subsequent ten year period. Tesla and its partners plan to hire 6500 operational employees with an average wage exceeding $22.00 per hour and full benefits package. Prioritization of employment will be made to Nevadans and veterans. 

Over a twenty year period the Gigafactory is estimated to increase regional employment by 10%, with a total economic impact of approximately $100 billion. This impact is estimated to increase the regional GDP by an astonishing 20%. Over the same period, the Gigafactory is estimated to generate $1.9 billion in total fiscal impacts. Additionally, Tesla will make a direct contribution to K-12 education of $37.5 million beginning in August 2019, and commits to a grant of $1 million to fund advanced battery research at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. 

EDAWN fully supports this application, and looks forward to representing the company before the GOED Board in November. 

Sincerely,

[MEDICAL] 

TAKE CHARGE 

WHEN IT COMES TO HEALTH CARE, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TESLA PROVIDES YOU WITH THE TOOLS AND RESOURCES YOU NEED INCLUDING COVERING 100% OF THE COST OF PREVENTIVE CARE AND PREVENTIVE PRESCRIPTIONS. 

CIGNA HEALTH SAVINGS PLAN 

After you meet the annual deductible ($2,000 per employee/$4,000 per family), you pay 10% of the cost of most covered services you receive from in-network providers until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum. You also have the flexibility to visit out-of-network providers, but your portion of the cost of services is higher. 

To help you pay for out-of-pocket expenses, Tesla makes an initial contribution ($200 per employee/$1,200 per family) to a Health Savings Account (HSA) set up in your name. You also have the opportunity to make pretax contributions to your HSA and earn up to $800 in additional contributions for participating in Tesla Energy health and fitness activities. (HSAs are explained on page 6; more information on Tesla Energy is available on TheTeslaLife.com.) 

CIGNA REIMBURSEMENT PLAN 

If you’d feel more comfortable with a lower annual deductible ($1,000 per employee/$1,500 per family) before Tesla pays benefits, you have the option of sharing the monthly cost of coverage with Tesla and enrolling in the Cigna Reimbursement Plan. This plan allows you to visit in-network or out-of-network providers. And, after you meet the deductible, you pay 10% of the cost of most covered services you receive from in-network providers until you reach your out-of-pocket maximum. 

If you enroll in the Cigna Reimbursement Plan, Tesla will open a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) in your name. Tesla does not contribute to your HRA initially, and you’re not permitted to make pretax contributions; however, you can earn up to $800 in contributions by participating in Tesla Energy health and fitness activities. (HRAs are explained on page 6; more information on Tesla Energy is available on TheTeslaLife.com.) 

KAISER HEALTH SAVINGS PLAN AND KAISER REIMBURSEMENT PLAN 

Employees in California have the option of enrolling in the Kaiser Health Savings Plan or the Kaiser Reimbursement Plan. If you choose a Kaiser plan, you and Tesla share the monthly cost of coverage. 

The Kaiser plans operate in the same way as the Cigna plans, with one exception: If you enroll in a Cigna plan, you can visit in-network or out-of-network providers; if you enroll in a Kaiser plan, you must receive all care from Kaiser providers at Kaiser facilities except in case of an emergency. 

TO HELP YOU DECIDE WHICH PROVIDER NETWORK AND PLAN WILL BEST MEET YOUR NEEDS, REVIEW THE KEY FEATURES OF THE PLANS (BELOW), THE SIDE-BY-SIDE COMPARISON OF PLAN BENEFITS (ON PAGE 5) AND THE COSTS OF COVERAGE (ON PAGE 14). YOU ALSO CAN USE THE EXPENSE ESTIMATOR ON THETESLALIFE.COM TO ESTIMATE YOUR HEALTH COVERAGE COSTS UNDER EACH MEDICAL PLAN.

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS AND HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS 

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) are both designed to help lower your out-of-pocket health care costs, but they are structured differently. 

 


		
	
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS (HSAs) 

•The Health Savings Plans come with an HSA. 

•Tesla makes an initial contribution to your HSA. 

•You can earn additional HSA funds by participating in Tesla Energy health and fitness activities. 

•You can make pretax contributions to your HSA. 

•Your account balance rolls over from year to year. 

•The money in your account grows tax-free, and it is yours to keep even if you leave Tesla. 

•Once your HSA balance reaches $2,000, you can invest it in a variety of investment options. 
	
HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNTS (HRAs) 

•The Reimbursement Plans come with an HRA. 

•Tesla does not make an initial contribution to your HRA. 

•You can earn HRA funds by participating in Tesla Energy health and fitness activities. 

•You cannot make pretax contributions to your HRA. 

•Your account balance does not roll over from year to year. 

•You cannot keep the money in your account if you leave Tesla.




 

Key features of HSAs and HRAs are outlined below.

TESLA ENERGY CONTRIBUTIONS 

If you participate in Tesla Energy health and fitness activities, Tesla will reward you with contributions to your HSA or HRA. Once you’ve completed an activity, Tesla will credit your HSA or HRA with the contributions you’ve earned. Visit TheTeslaLife.com to learn more about Tesla Energy.

If you or any of your covered family members do use tobacco products, you may be eligible for a retroactive discount within the same calendar year if you complete the Quit For Life program in 2014. Visit TheTeslaLife.com to learn more.

RX FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 
	
WHAT ARE PREVENTIVE CARE DRUGS?

	
 

Preventive care drugs include many medications prescribed to treat diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and asthma. Prenatal vitamins are also included.

	
 

IS BIRTH CONTROL COVERED?

	
 

Yes, generic and some preferred brands of oral contraceptives are covered at 100%.

	
 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BRAND-NAME AND GENERIC DRUGS?

	
 

You can save money if your prescription is filled with a generic drug. Generic drugs cost less than brand-name drugs, and meet the same FDA requirements for effectiveness, quality and safety.

	
 

WHEN WOULD I USE THE MAIL ORDER BENEFIT?

	
 

This benefit is used for maintenance medications that you take on a regular basis. Using the mail order service usually saves you money, and you have the added convenience of receiving your medications at home.

DON’T MISS YOUR CHANCE TO GET EXTRA SAVINGS. WHEN YOU USE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS (FSAs), YOU ARE NEVER TAXED ON THE MONEY YOU CONTRIBUTE. THIS MEANS THAT EVERY TIME YOU USE YOUR FSA TO PAY AN ELIGIBLE EXPENSE, YOU RECEIVE A DISCOUNT THAT’S EQUAL TO YOUR INCOME TAX BRACKET. TESLA OFFERS TWO TYPES OF FSAs. 

 


		
	
 
	
 

	
•HEALTH CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (HC FSA): 

 

If you are enrolled in the Cigna Reimbursement Plan or the Kaiser Reimbursement Plan, you can use a HC FSA to pay for medical expenses (such as copayments and coinsurance), dental expenses (non-cosmetic), most prescription drugs and eye glasses.
	
THE FINE PRINT

 

In exchange for tax-free financing you must follow a few simple rules:

 

•You cannot transfer money from one FSA to another, and you cannot use money from one FSA to cover expenses that should be claimed from the other account.

 

•You must use your FSAs on eligible expenses. For a complete list of eligible expenses for each account, visit www.irs.gov and review publications 502 and 503.

 

•You cannot contribute more than the IRS maximums to each account. Here are the limits for 2014:

 

•HC FSA: up to $2,500

 

•DC FSA: up to $5,000

 

•“Use it or lose it.” This means that all the money in your HC FSA must be spent by March 15 of the following year and claims must be submitted by April 30 of that year. All the money in your DC FSA must be spent by December 31 and claims must be submitted by April 30 of the following year. Any amount remaining at the end of the plan year is forfeited, so estimate your expenses carefully.

	
 

•DEPENDENT CARE FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (DC FSA):

 

You can use this account to pay for preschool expenses, nursery school expenses, child care in your home, senior day care facility needs and licensed home child care. Dependent Care FSA expenses related to the care of a child must be for a child under the age of 13.

	
 

Contributions to a DC FSA cannot be used to pay for dependents’ health care expenses; they can only be used to pay for the care provided to qualifying dependent children or adults.

	
 

You can enroll in one, both or neither of the accounts; however, if you are enrolled in the Cigna or Kaiser Health Savings Plan, you may participate in the Dependent Care FSA but NOT in the Health Care FSA.

	
 




YOU MUST RE-ENROLL EACH YEAR TO PARTICIPATE IN AN FSA. YOUR ELECTIONS DO NOT ROLL OVER FROM YEAR TO YEAR. 

TEST DRIVE THE SAVINGS 

The following chart shows you how much you would save on your health care and dependent care expenses if you contribute up to the maximum amount for each account. It assumes you are married and file your taxes jointly with a combined annual income of $50,000.

[401(K), ESPP AND EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN] 

SAVINGS VEHICLES 

THE TESLA LIFE IS A RADICALLY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. WE OFFER GREAT SAVINGS PROGRAMS TO HELP DRIVE YOUR SUCCESS TODAY WHILE PREPARING FOR YOUR FUTURE. CHECK OUT TESLA’S 401(K) PLAN, EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN AND EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN TO START SAVING NOW. 

 


	
401(K) PLAN 

With the Tesla 401(k) Plan, saving for retirement is automatic. Unless you tell us you’d like to do something else, we’ll put 3% of your pay into the 401(k) Plan. You can change this amount at any time. 

To make things easy for you, we put the automatic contribution into a “life cycle” fund—this type of fund is based on your date of birth and a retirement age of 65. The fund takes the pressure off you because it is managed by investment experts who monitor your investments and adjust the level of risk as you near retirement. If you’d like to actively manage your investments, the plan offers you other options that allow you to do so. Visit TheTeslaLife.com to learn more about your options and to choose the ones that best fit you and your family’s needs.
	
EMPLOYEE STOCK 

PURCHASE PLAN (ESPP) 

Through this program, you can purchase company stock at a 15% discount off the market price at either the beginning of the six-month offering period or the market price at the end of the offering period, whichever is lower. Offering periods begin on March 1 and September 1, and purchases are made on the last day of each offering. You purchase shares through after-tax contributions made through payroll deductions that accumulate during the 6-month offering period. 

Shortly after the shares are purchased, they are deposited into your E*TRADE Stock Plans account, where you can hold onto them as long as you want or, subject to Tesla’s Insider Trading Policy, sell or gift the shares without any holding period restrictions. 
	
EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

To give every employee the opportunity to own a portion of the company whose success they’re helping to drive, Tesla created the Equity Incentive Plan. The plan allows Tesla to recognize outstanding work performance, and allows employees to benefit from the Company’s continued success. 

The value of vested Tesla shares of stock can be a significant portion of your total compensation. Each employee contributes to that value through innovation, efficiency and commitment to quality. Hard work is as evident in the exceptional products we deliver to customers as it is in the performance our stock delivers to employees’ compensation. 

Tesla has partnered with E*TRADE Financial to keep Equity Incentive Plan participants updated on the status of their accounts. To learn more about the plan, visit TheTeslaLife.com.

ORDER 

The Board (the “Board”) of the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development (the “Office”) makes the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: 


	
I.
	
INTRODUCTION 




Tesla Motors, Inc., a foreign corporation registered to do business in Nevada, filed an application (“Application”) with the Office for abatement of property taxes, employer excise taxes, local sales and use taxes, and for issuance of transferable tax credits, as provided for in Senate Bill No. 1, enacted in the 28th (2014) Special Session of the Nevada Legislature (“SB No. 1”), and an Economic Development Electric Rate Rider (“EDRR”), as provided for in Assembly Bill No. 1, enacted in the 28th (2014) Special Session of the Nevada Legislature (“AB No. 1”), and in Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) 704.7871 through 704.7882. For purposes of this Order, Tesla Motors, Inc. shall hereinafter be referred to as Tesla, or as the Lead participant as defined in section 5 of SB No. 1, and, except as otherwise defined in this Order, capitalized terms used in this Order shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in sections 2 through 10 of SB No. 1. 


	
II.
	
PROCEDURAL HISTORY 





	
• 
	
On October 17, 2014, Tesla, acting as Lead participant, filed the Application with the Office

pursuant to SB No. 1 and AB No. 1. The matter was designated as Docket No. 14-1017141. The Application is incorporated as part of this Order as Attachment “A”. The Application included letters of support for the Application from the Storey County Commissioners’ Office, Storey County School District, the City of Reno and the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada. 


	
•
	
On October 20, 2014, pursuant to SB No. 1, the Office issued a notice of the Application and of the date, time and location of the public hearing at which the Application would be considered, to Tesla and other Participants in the Project commonly known as the “Gigafactory Project”; the Nevada Department of Taxation; the Nevada State Gaming Control Board; the governing body of the county, the board of trustees of the school district and the governing body of the city or town, if any, in which the Project is located; the governing body of any other political subdivision that the Office determined could experience a direct economic effect as a result of the abatement; and to the general public; and posted this notice on the Internet website for the Office. 





	
• 
	
On November 17, 2014, the Office filed a summary of the Application with the Board which is incorporated as part of this Order as Attachment “B”. 





	
•
	
The Board conducted the public hearing on November 20, 2014, with Governor Brian Sandoval presiding. Executive Director of the Office, Steven Hill, summarized the information provided in the Application, verified that the Application satisfied all applicable requirements of SB No. 1, and presented a finding that the Gigafactory Project is a Qualified Project, and eligible to participate in the incentives offered by SB No. 1 and AB No. 1 based upon information provided in the Application. Minutes related to the hearing on this Application are incorporated as part of this Order as Attachment “C”. 





	
• 
	
Following discussion by the Board, a motion (“Motion”) was made by Board member Kathleen

Drakulich to approve the Application and instruct the Executive Director to issue certificates of eligibility authorized by SB No. 1. The Motion also authorized Executive Director Hill to take the following actions without further Board review: approve the addition of other Participants to the Gigafactory Project upon petition of Tesla acting as Lead participant; administer other terms and conditions contained in SB No. 1; negotiate and execute a contract by and between the state of Nevada, acting through the Office, and the Lead participant (“the Agreement”); and administer the EDRR as provided for in AB No. 1. The Motion further directed the Executive Director to issue an annual report to the Board on all of these economic incentives while they are in effect. This Motion was seconded by Board member Sam Routson. The Motion passed unanimously, and is further described in the minutes set forth in Attachment C to this Order. 


	
III.
	
CONCLUSION: 




The Board of the Office has found that the Tesla, acting as Lead participant, has satisfied the requirements of SB No. 1 and AB No. 1 for approval of the Application, and therefore determines that the Gigafactory Project is a Qualified Project as defined in SB No. 1 and that Tesla is eligible to participate in the EDRR. 

THEREFORE, it is ORDERED: 

1. Subject to the limitations of Ordering Paragraph 4 below, the Office shall issue Certificates of Eligibility to Tesla, acting as Lead participant, for: 


	
a.
	
An abatement of all property taxes, both real and personal, commencing on October 17, 2014 and continuing through June 30, 2024, in an amount that equals the amount of the property taxes that would otherwise be owed by the Lead participant and each other Participant for the Gigafactory Project;

The term does not include the taxes imposed by NRS 372. This action would abate said local taxes from the prevailing county rate imposed pursuant to NRS chapters 374 and 377 to a local rate of 0.75%, resulting in an adjusted overall state and local sales and use tax rate of 2.75%, commencing on October 17, 2014 and continuing through June 30, 2034; 





	
d.
	
Transferable tax credits in an amount not to exceed a total of $75,000,000, in the amount of $12,500 for each qualified employee of a Participant, to a maximum of 6,000 Qualified Employees employed at the Gigafactory Project by all Participants, collectively; as further conditioned by the state fiscal year limitations established in Sec. 14 of SB No. 1;

We believe our operational infrastructure provides us with a competitive advantage compared to traditional automobile manufacturers. The Tesla Roadster entered production in 2008 and Model S in 2012. Deliveries for Model X coming in 2015. Tesla’s batteries and powertrains will help lessen global dependence on petroleum-based transportation and drive down the cost of electric vehicles. By cooperating with other car manufacturers, we hope to put more electric cars on the road.” Source: www.teslamotors.com 

SIGNIFICANCE OF ABATEMENTS IN THE COMPANY’S DECISION TO RELOCATE/EXPAND 

Tesla inspected almost 100 different sites in the Western states during 2013, that included 31 in California alone. In Nevada, Tesla considered sites in the Reno and Las Vegas areas. By February 2014, Tesla announced it would focus on four states, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, with California added soon thereafter. Tax abatements were considered by Tesla to be a crucial part of its financial plan for the Gigafactory.

NOTICE OF SENATE BILL 1 ABATEMENT 

EXEMPTION FROM LOCAL SALES AND USE TAX FOR 

TESLA MOTORS, INC., TESLA SUB-CONTRACTORS AND PARTICIPANTS 

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 17, 2014 EXPIRATION DATE: June 30, 2034 

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development (“GOED”) has approved the application of Tesla Motors, Inc. (“Tesla”) for abatement of local sales and use taxes on tangible personal property delivered, stored, used or otherwise consumed at the Qualified Project known as the “Gigafactory” in Storey County, Nevada (“Eligible Property”). 

Upon receipt of this special exemption letter and written authorization from Tesla, you may sell Eligible Property tax exempt to Tesla, Tesla sub-contractors and Participants. Tesla, Tesla subcontractors and/or Participants (as appropriate) will pay the 2.75% non-abated portion of Nevada state and local sales and use taxes directly to the Nevada Department of Taxation. 

Vendors shall report all of these exempt sales on their tax returns as they report other tax exempt sales. Vendors must retain a copy of this exemption letter in the vendors’ files as proof of exempt sales. 

This exemption applies only to purchases of Eligible Property by Tesla, Tesla sub-contractors, and Participants in the Gigafactory project, and is not extended to any other individuals, contractors, or lessors to or for such organizations. Fraudulent use of this exemption letter is a violation of Nevada law. 

If the Nevada State Department of Taxation, or GOED, determines that Tesla, or the Gigafactory Project, no longer meet the criteria outlined in Senate Bill 1 and other applicable laws, this letter of exemption will be revoked. 

Any vendor having questions concerning the use of this sales/use tax exemption letter may contact Kathleen Douglas, at the Department of Taxation at 775-684-2067, or Brad Mamer, at GOED at 702-486-2785. 

 


	
 

	
Sincerely,
