Community Engagement Our community connection programs and experiences are designed to increase representation and provide equitable Community Connection outcomes for underrepresented groups. We offer first-in-line employment opportunities to program participants. We inspire Programs and Experiences students to see the possibilities of an amazing career with Tesla. We are continuing to provide employees with the programs, tools, resources and support that have been proven to foster inclusion. We inspire our employees to progress in their careers as far as their talent will take them. Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day To help encourage young women to see engineering and manufacturing as a desirable career path, Tesla hosted over 400 girls at 11 sites in 5 states in the U.S. for Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day. Tesla volunteers led the students through facility tours and hands on STEM activities. They also heard from the women of Tesla who lent their expertise and experience to encourage the young female students to see technology as a tool to pursue their future career interests. Manufacturing Day In celebration of National Manufacturing Day in the U.S., which takes place annually on the first Friday in October, Tesla hosted events in Fremont, California and Austin, Texas (held virtually in 2020 due to COVID-19 safety precautions) engaging several hundred students, parents, teachers and community leaders through virtual factory tours, panel discussions and sharing manufacturing career opportunities to inspire young people to explore manufacturing careers at Tesla. Tesla Connect Over the years, we have hosted thousands of visitors at Gigafactory Nevada, Gigafactory New York and the Fremont Factory in California to give guests an opportunity to see the manufacturing process firsthand. In 2020, we created Tesla Connect to expand our reach with students and community members across the globe. Tesla Connect provides virtual tours, info sessions and Q&A discussions to share an in-depth look at the Tesla ecosystem. Tesla Impact Tesla Impact was relaunched in October 2020 to provide opportunities for Tesla employees to give back to the community by supporting mission-driven causes and organizations through volunteer programs and events. Employees across the U.S. had the opportunity to participate in blood drives, in-person and virtual volunteering, mentoring opportunities and charitable collections to benefit community organizations where they live and work. 69
