Summary
This Form 8-K filing by Tesla Motors, Inc. on May 6, 2015, primarily serves to announce the release of its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. The company provided these results via its First Quarter 2015 Shareholder Letter, which is attached as an exhibit to this filing. Investors should note that while this filing makes the Q1 2015 financial information publicly available, it is furnished under Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and is not considered 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act. This means it does not automatically become part of Tesla's registered SEC filings unless specifically incorporated by reference into a future filing.
