People and Culture What do we see as impact? Introduction Our employees have gotten us to where we are today. To continue innovating and changing the world for the better, we must ensure we have a talented and engaged workforce with ample opportunity to contribute to our mission and grow professionally. Meaningful work: Working for Tesla is not just any job. The products we build are necessary for transitioning to a sustainable future. Respectful, safe, inclusive and equitable workplace: Tesla is a majority-minority company. We strive to be a workplace where people love to come to work every day. While challenges will arise, Tesla has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind, and we will continue to address them head on as we keep growing. We hire a lot: We created nearly 100,000 direct new jobs in a decade. While many manufacturers are trimming their operations, we are growing as quickly as is feasible. Pay well: We want to make sure that we pay competitive wages, regardless of the region. Significant upside potential: Every single employee of our company can receive their grants in stocks or options. If our company does well, every employee can benefit materially from Tesla’s success. Outstanding benefits: We want our benefits to be an outlier in the manufacturing industry. Among other benefits, we provide medical, dental and vision plans with no paycheck deductions, 401k matching, life insurance, parental leave and family building benefits. Build the future: Who wouldn’t want to work for a company with a mission of building a future we all want? Tesla’s mission is not only about making a product that people love, but also about making a real, sustained impact on transitioning the world to sustainable energy. In 2021, we received 3,000,000 job applications from those wanting to be a part of this mission. 22
