68、fits were$926 million and$870 million,respectively,of which$578 million and$572 million,respectively,would not give rise to changes in our effective tax rate since these tax benefits would increase a deferred tax asset that is currently fully offset by a valuation allowance.We file income tax return
69、s in the U.S.and various state and foreign jurisdictions.We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service(“IRS”)for the years 2015 to 2018.Additional tax years within the periods 2004 to 2014 and 2019 to 2021 remain subject to examination for federal income tax purposes.All net ope

79、quarter falls,our accounts receivable balance may fluctuate as we are waiting for certain customer payments to clear through our banking institutions and receipts of payments from our financing partners,which can take up to approximately two weeks based on the contractual payment terms with such par
80、tners.Our accounts receivable balances associated with our sales of regulatory credits,which are typically transferred to other manufacturers during the last few days of the quarter,is dependent on contractual payment terms.Additionally,government rebates can take up to a year or more to be collecte
81、d depending on the customary processing timelines of the specific jurisdictions issuing them.These various factors may have a significant impact on our accounts receivable balance from period to period.As of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022,we had$575 million and$753 million,respectively,of long-t
82、erm government rebates receivable in Other non-current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.Financing ReceivablesAs of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022,the majority of our financing receivables were at current status with only immaterial balances being past due.As of March 31,2023,the majorit

85、 expected credit losses was$37 million.Concentration of RiskCredit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash,cash equivalents,investments,restricted cash,accounts receivable and other finance receivables.Our cash and investments balances
86、are primarily comprised of deposits which are diversified among high credit quality financial institutions or invested in U.S.government securities.These deposits are typically in excess of insured limits.As of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022,no entity represented 10%or more of our total receivab
87、les balance.Supply RiskWe are dependent on our suppliers,including single source suppliers,and the inability of these suppliers to deliver necessary components of our products in a timely manner at prices,quality levels and volumes acceptable to us,or our inability to efficiently manage these compon
88、ents from these suppliers,could have a material adverse effect on our business,prospects,financial condition and operating results.Operating Lease VehiclesThe gross cost of operating lease vehicles as of March 31,2023 and December 31,2022 was$6.56 billion and$6.08 billion,respectively.Operating leas

97、 a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.On August 16,2022,the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022(“IRA”)was enacted into law and is effective for taxable years beginning after December 31,2022.The IRA includes multiple incentives to promote clean energy,electric vehicles,battery and

99、month period ended March 31,2023,the impact was primarily a reduction of our material costs.We will continue to evaluate the effects of IRA as more guidance is issued and the relevant implications to our consolidated financial statements.Note 2 Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsASC 820,Fair Value M
100、easurements(“ASC 820”)states that fair value is an exit price,representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.As such,fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assu
101、mptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.The three-tiered fair value hierarchy,which prioritizes which inputs should be used in measuring fair value,is comprised of:(Level I)observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;(Level II)inputs other than quo
102、ted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly and(Level III)unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value.Our assets and liabilities that we

141、Relating to the SolarCity AcquisitionBetween September 1,2016 and October 5,2016,seven lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by purported stockholders of Tesla challenging our acquisition of SolarCity Corporation(“SolarCity”).Following consolidation,the lawsuit names as defendants th
142、e members of Teslas board of directors as then constituted and alleges,among other things,that board members breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the acquisition.The complaint asserts both derivative claims and direct claims on behalf of a purported class and seeks,among other relief,u
143、nspecified monetary damages,attorneys fees and costs.On January 22,2020,all of the director defendants except Elon Musk reached a settlement to resolve the lawsuit against them for an amount to be paid entirely under the applicable insurance policy.The settlement,which does not involve an admission
144、of any wrongdoing by any party,was approved by the Court on August 17,2020.Tesla received payment of approximately$43 million on September 16,2020,which has been recognized in our consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to Selling,general and administrative operating expenses for costs
145、previously incurred related to the acquisition of SolarCity.The trial was held from July 12 to July 23,2021 and on August 16,2021.On October 22,2021,the Court approved the parties joint stipulation that(a)the class is decertified and the action shall continue exclusively as a derivative action under
146、 Court of Chancery Rule 23.1 and(b)the direct claims against Elon Musk are dismissed with prejudice.Following post-trial briefing,post-trial argument was held on January 18,2022.On April 27,2022,the Court entered judgment in favor of Mr.Musk on all counts.On May 26,2022,the plaintiff filed a notice
147、of appeal.Oral argument was held before the Supreme Court of Delaware on March 29,2023.These plaintiffs and others filed parallel actions in the U.S.District Court for the District of Delaware on or about April 21,2017.They include claims for violations of the federal securities laws and breach of f
148、iduciary duties by Teslas board of directors.Those actions have been consolidated and stayed pending the above-referenced Chancery Court litigation.17 Litigation Relating to 2018 CEO Performance AwardOn June 4,2018,a purported Tesla stockholder filed a putative class and derivative action in the Del
149、aware Court of Chancery against Elon Musk and the members of Teslas board of directors as then constituted,alleging corporate waste,unjust enrichment and that such board members breached their fiduciary duties by approving the stock-based compensation plan awarded to Elon Musk in 2018.The complaint
150、seeks,among other things,monetary damages and rescission or reformation of the stock-based compensation plan.On August 31,2018,defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint;plaintiff filed its opposition brief on November 1,2018;and defendants filed a reply brief on December 13,2018.The hearing
151、 on the motion to dismiss was held on May 9,2019.On September 20,2019,the Court granted the motion to dismiss as to the corporate waste claim but denied the motion as to the breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment claims.Defendants answer was filed on December 3,2019.On January 25,2021,the Co
152、urt conditionally certified certain claims and a class of Tesla stockholders as a class action.On September 30,2021,plaintiff filed a motion for leave to file a verified amended derivative complaint.On October 1,2021,defendants Kimbal Musk and Steve Jurvetson moved for summary judgment as to the cla
153、ims against them.Following the motion,plaintiff agreed to voluntarily dismiss the claims against Kimbal Musk and Steve Jurvetson.Plaintiff also moved for summary judgment on October 1,2021.On October 27,2021,the Court approved the parties joint stipulation that,among other things,(a)all claims again
154、st Kimbal Musk and Steve Jurvetson in the Complaint are dismissed with prejudice;(b)the class is decertified and the action shall continue exclusively as a derivative action under Court of Chancery Rule 23.1;and(c)the direct claims against the remaining defendants are dismissed with prejudice.On Nov

156、 amend his complaint,and(ii)canceled oral argument on the summary judgment motions,stating that the court is“skeptical that this litigation can be resolved based on the undisputed facts”and the“case is going to trial,”but that the“parties may reassert their arguments made in support of summary judgm
157、ent in their pre-trial and post-trial briefs.”Trial was held November 14-18,2022.Post-trial briefing and argument are now complete.Litigation Related to Directors CompensationOn June 17,2020,a purported Tesla stockholder filed a derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery,purportedly on beha
158、lf of Tesla,against certain of Teslas current and former directors regarding compensation awards granted to Teslas directors,other than Elon Musk,between 2017 and 2020.The suit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment and seeks declaratory and injunctive relief,unspecified d
159、amages and other relief.Defendants filed their answer on September 17,2020.Trial is currently set for November 27,2023,to December 1,2023.Litigation Relating to Potential Going Private TransactionBetween August 10,2018 and September 6,2018,nine purported stockholder class actions were filed against
160、Tesla and Elon Musk in connection with Mr.Musks August 7,2018 Twitter post that he was considering taking Tesla private.On January 16,2019,Plaintiffs filed their consolidated complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and added as defendants the members of
161、Teslas board of directors.The consolidated complaint asserts claims for violations of the federal securities laws and seeks unspecified damages and other relief.The parties stipulated to certification of a class of stockholders,which the court granted on November 25,2020.Trial started on January 17,
162、2023,and on February 3,2023,a jury rendered a verdict in favor of the defendants on all counts.After trial,plaintiffs filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law and a motion for new trial,which the defendants opposed.Between October 17,2018 and March 8,2021,seven derivative lawsuits were filed i
163、n the Delaware Court of Chancery,purportedly on behalf of Tesla,against Mr.Musk and the members of Teslas board of directors,as constituted at relevant times,in relation to statements made and actions connected to a potential going private transaction,with certain of the lawsuits challenging additio
164、nal Twitter posts by Mr.Musk,among other things.Five of those actions were consolidated,and all seven actions have been stayed pending resolution of the above-referenced consolidated purported stockholder class action.In addition to these cases,two derivative lawsuits were filed on October 25,2018 a
165、nd February 11,2019 in the U.S.District Court for the District of Delaware,purportedly on behalf of Tesla,against Mr.Musk and the members of the Tesla board of directors as then constituted.Those cases have also been consolidated and stayed pending the entry of judgment in the above-referenced conso
166、lidated purported stockholder class action.On October 21,2022,a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by a purported shareholder of Tesla alleging,among other things,that board members breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their oversight of the Companys 2018 settlement wi
167、th the SEC,as amended.Among other things,the plaintiff seeks reforms to the Companys corporate governance and internal procedures,unspecified damages,and attorneys fees.The parties reached an agreement to stay the case until June 5,2023.18 On November 15,2021,JPMorgan Chase Bank(“JP Morgan”)filed a
168、lawsuit against Tesla in the Southern District of New York alleging breach of a stock warrant agreement that was entered into as part of a convertible notes offering in 2014.In 2018,JP Morgan informed Tesla that it had adjusted the strike price based upon Mr.Musks August 7,2018 Twitter post that he
169、was considering taking Tesla private.Tesla disputed JP Morgans adjustment as a violation of the parties agreement.In 2021,Tesla delivered shares to JP Morgan per the agreement,which they duly accepted.JP Morgan now alleges that it is owed approximately$162 million as the value of additional shares t
170、hat it claims should have been delivered as a result of the adjustment to the strike price in 2018.On January 24,2022,Tesla filed multiple counterclaims as part of its answer to the underlying lawsuit,asserting among other points that JP Morgan should have terminated the stock warrant agreement in 2
171、018 rather than make an adjustment to the strike price that it should have known would lead to a commercially unreasonable result.Tesla believes that the adjustments made by JP Morgan were neither proper nor commercially reasonable,as required under the stock warrant agreements.JP Morgan filed a mot
172、ion for judgment on the pleadings,which Tesla opposed,and that motion is currently pending before the Court.Litigation and Investigations Relating to Alleged Discrimination and HarassmentOn October 4,2021,in a case captioned Diaz v.Tesla,a jury in the Northern District of California returned a verdi
173、ct against Tesla on claims by a former contingent worker that he was subjected to race discrimination while assigned to work at Teslas Fremont Factory from 2015-2016.On November 16,2021,Tesla filed a post-trial motion for relief that included a request for a new trial or reduction of the jurys damag
174、es.On April 13,2022,the Court granted Teslas motion in part,reducing the total damages and conditionally denied the motion for a new trial subject to the plaintiffs acceptance of the reduced award.On June 21,2022,the plaintiff rejected the reduced award and,as a result,on June 27,2022,the Court orde
175、red a new trial on damages only,which commenced on March 27,2023,after which a jury returned a verdict of$3,175,000.As a result,the damages awarded against Tesla were reduced from an initial$136.9 million(October 4,2021)down to$15 million(April 13,2022),and then further down to$3.175 million(April 3
176、,2023).On February 9,2022,shortly after the first Diaz jury verdict,the California Civil Rights Department(”CRD,”formerly“DFEH”)filed a civil complaint against Tesla in Alameda County,California Superior Court,alleging systemic race discrimination,hostile work environment and pay equity claims,among
177、 others.CRDs amended complaint seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief.On September 22,2022,Tesla filed a cross complaint against CRD,alleging that it violated the Administrative Procedures Act by failing to follow statutory pre-requisites prior to filing suit and that cross complaint was subje
178、ct to a sustained demurrer,which Tesla later amended and refiled.The case is now in discovery.Additionally,on June 1,2022 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission(“EEOC”)issued a cause finding against Tesla that closely parallels the CRDs allegations.Tesla will engage in a mandatory mediation wit
179、h the EEOC in June 2023.On June 16,2022,two Tesla stockholders filed separate derivative actions in the U.S.District Court for the Western District of Texas,purportedly on behalf of Tesla,against certain of Teslas current and former directors.Both suits assert claims for breach of fiduciary duty,unj
180、ust enrichment,and violation of the federal securities laws in connection with alleged race and gender discrimination and sexual harassment.Among other things,plaintiffs seek declaratory and injunctive relief,unspecified damages payable to Tesla,and attorneys fees.On July 22,2022,the Court consolida
181、ted the two cases and on September 6,2022,plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint.On November 7,2022,the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case.Plaintiffs filed a response of January 13,2023,and the defendants replied on February 17,2023.Other Litigation Related to Our Products and Services
182、We are also subject to various lawsuits,including proposed class actions,that seek monetary and other injunctive relief.For example,on September 14,2022,a proposed class action was filed against Tesla,Inc.and related entities in the U.S.District Court for the Northern District of California,alleging
183、 various claims about the Companys driver assistance technology systems under state and federal law.This case was later consolidated with several other proposed class actions,and a Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on October 28,2022,which seeks damages and other relief on behalf of all perso
184、ns who purchased or leased from Tesla between January 1,2016 to the present.On October 5,2022 a proposed class action complaint was filed in the U.S.District Court for the Eastern District of New York asserting similar state and federal law claims against the same defendants.On March 22,2023,the pla
185、intiffs in the California consolidated action filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to order Tesla to(1)cease using the term“Full Self-Driving Capability”(FSDC),(2)cease the sale and activation of FSDC and deactivate FSDC on Tesla vehicles,and(3)provide certain notices to consumers about propo
186、sed court-findings about the accuracy of the use of the terms Autopilot and FSDC.19 On February 27,2023,a proposed class action was filed in the U.S.District Court for the Northern District of California against Tesla,Inc.,Elon Musk and certain current and former Company executives.The complaint all
187、eges that the defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions about the Companys Autopilot and FSDC technologies and seeks money damages and other relief on behalf of persons who purchased Tesla stock between February 19,2019 and February 17,2023.On April 13,2023,a putative Tesla sharehold
188、er filed a related shareholder derivative complaint against the members of Teslas board of directors and certain current and former executives,alleging contribution for violations of the federal securities law,breach of fiduciary duties,waste,and unjust enrichment.The complaint asserts derivative cl
189、aims and seeks,among other relief,unspecified monetary damages,attorneys fees and costs.On March 14,2023 a proposed class action was filed in the U.S.District Court for the Northern District of California.Several similar complaints have also been filed in the same court.These complaints allege that
190、Tesla violates federal antitrust and warranty laws through its repair,service,and maintenance practices and seeks,among other relief,damages for persons who paid Tesla for repairs services or Tesla compatible replacement parts from March 2019 to March 2023.The Company intends to vigorously defend it
191、self in these matters;however,we cannot predict the outcome or impact.We are unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss,if any,associated with these claims,unless noted.Certain Investigations and Other MattersWe receive requests for information from regulators and governmental
192、authorities,such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,the National Transportation Safety Board,the SEC,the Department of Justice(“DOJ”)and various state,federal,and international agencies.We routinely cooperate with such regulatory and governmental requests,including subpoenas,forma
193、l and informal requests and other investigations and inquiries.For example,the SEC had issued subpoenas to Tesla in connection with Elon Musks prior statement that he was considering taking Tesla private.The take-private investigation was resolved and closed with a settlement entered into with the S
194、EC in September 2018 and as further clarified in April 2019 in an amendment.The SEC also has periodically issued subpoenas to us seeking information on our governance processes around compliance with the SEC settlement,as amended.Separately,the company has received requests from the DOJ for document
195、s related to Teslas Autopilot and FSD features.To our knowledge no government agency in any ongoing investigation has concluded that any wrongdoing occurred.We cannot predict the outcome or impact of any ongoing matters.Should the government decide to pursue an enforcement action,there exists the po
196、ssibility of a material adverse impact on our business,results of operation,prospects,cash flows and financial position.We are also subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise from the normal course of business activities.If an unfavorable ruling or development were to occur,the
197、re exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our business,results of operations,prospects,cash flows,financial position and brand.20 Note 10 Variable Interest Entity ArrangementsThe aggregate carrying values of the variable interest entities assets and liabilities,after elimination of a

205、erly Report on Form 10-Q.OverviewOur mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable energy.We design,develop,manufacture,lease and sell high-performance fully electric vehicles,solar energy generation systems and energy storage products.We also offer maintenance,installation,operation
206、,financial and other services related to our products.Additionally,we are increasingly focused on products and services based on artificial intelligence,robotics and automation.In 2023,we produced 440,808 consumer vehicles and delivered 422,875 consumer vehicles through the first quarter.We are curr
207、ently focused on increasing vehicle production,capacity and delivery capabilities,reducing costs,improving and developing battery technologies,improving our FSD capabilities,increasing the affordability and efficiency of our vehicles,bringing new products to market and expanding our global infrastru
208、cture.In 2023,we deployed 3.89 GWh of energy storage products and 67 megawatts of solar energy systems through the first quarter.We are currently focused on ramping production of energy storage products,improving our Solar Roof installation capability and efficiency,and increasing market share of re
209、trofit solar energy systems.During the three months ended March 31,2023,we recognized total revenues of$23.33 billion,representing an increase of$4.57 billion,compared to the prior year.We continue to ramp production,build new manufacturing capacity and expand our operations to enable increased deli
210、veries and deployments of our products and further revenue growth.During the three months ended March 31,2023,our net income attributable to common stockholders was$2.51 billion,representing an unfavorable change of$805 million,compared to the prior year.We continue to focus on improving our profita
211、bility through production and operational efficiencies.We ended the first quarter of 2023 with$22.40 billion in cash and cash equivalents and investments,representing an increase of$217 million from the end of 2022.Our cash flows provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 2
212、023 and 2022 were$2.51 billion and$4.00 billion,respectively,representing a decrease of$1.48 billion.Capital expenditures amounted to$2.07 billion during the three months ended March 31,2023,compared to$1.77 billion during the same period ended March 31,2022.Sustained growth has allowed our business
213、 to generally fund itself,and we will continue investing in a number of capital-intensive projects in upcoming periods.Management Opportunities,Challenges and Uncertainties and 2023 OutlookAutomotiveProduction The following is a summary of the status of production of each of our announced vehicle mo
214、dels in production and under development,as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:Production Location Vehicle Model(s)Production StatusFremont Factory Model S/Model X Active Model 3/Model Y ActiveGigafactory Shanghai Model 3/Model Y ActiveGigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg Model Y ActiveGiga
215、factory Texas Model Y Active Cybertruck Tooling Gigafactory Nevada Tesla Semi Pilot productionTBD Tesla Roadster In developmentTBD Robotaxi&Others In development We are focused on growing our manufacturing capacity,which includes ramping all of our production vehicles to their installed production c
216、apacities as well as increasing production rate,efficiency and capacity at our current factories.The next phase of production growth will depend on the ramp at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg and Gigafactory Texas,as well as our ability to add to our available sources of battery cell supply by manufa
217、cturing our own cells that we are developing to have high-volume output,lower capital and production costs and longer range.Our goals are to improve vehicle performance,decrease production costs and increase affordability and customer awareness.23 However,these plans are subject to uncertainties inh
218、erent in establishing and ramping manufacturing operations,which may be exacerbated by the new product and manufacturing technologies we are introducing,the number of concurrent international projects,any industry-wide component constraints,labor shortages and any future impact from events outside o
219、f our control such as the COVID-19 pandemic.Moreover,we have set ambitious technological targets with our plans for battery cells as well as for iterative manufacturing and design improvements for our vehicles with each new factory.AutomotiveDemand,Sales,Deliveries and InfrastructureOur cost reducti
220、on efforts,cost innovation strategies,and additional localized procurement and manufacturing are key to our vehicles affordability,and for example,have allowed us to competitively price our vehicles.We will also continue to generate demand and brand awareness by improving our vehicles performance an
221、d functionality,including through products based on artificial intelligence such as Autopilot and FSD,and other software features,and delivering new vehicles,such as our upcoming Cybertruck.Moreover,we expect to continue to benefit from ongoing electrification of the automotive sector and increasing
222、 environmental awareness.However,we operate in a cyclical industry that is sensitive to political and regulatory uncertainty,including with respect to trade and the environment,all of which can be compounded by inflationary pressures,rising energy prices,increases in interest rates and the liquidity
223、 of enterprise customers.For example,inflationary pressures have increased across the markets in which we operate.In an effort to curb this trend,central banks in developed countries raised interest rates rapidly and substantially,impacting the affordability of vehicle lease and finance arrangements
224、.Further,sales of vehicles in the automotive industry also tend to be cyclical in many markets,which may expose us to increased volatility as we expand and adjust our operations.Moreover,as additional competitors enter the marketplace and help bring the world closer to sustainable transportation,we
225、will have to adjust and continue to execute well to maintain our momentum.These macroeconomic and industry trends have had,and will likely continue to have,an impact on the pricing of,and order rate for our vehicles,and in turn our operating margin.We will continue to adjust accordingly to such deve
226、lopments,and we believe our ongoing cost reduction,including improved production innovation and efficiency at our newest factories and lower logistics costs,and focus on operating leverage will continue to benefit us in relation to our competitors.As our production increases,we must work constantly
227、to similarly increase vehicle delivery capability so that it does not become a bottleneck on our total deliveries.We are also committed to reducing the percentage of vehicles delivered in the third month of each quarter,which will help to reduce the cost per vehicle.As we expand our manufacturing op
228、erations globally,we will also have to continue to increase and staff our delivery,servicing and charging infrastructure accordingly,maintain our vehicle reliability and optimize our Supercharger locations to ensure cost effectiveness and customer satisfaction.In particular,we remain focused on incr
229、easing the capability and efficiency of our servicing operations.Energy Generation and Storage Demand,Production and Deployment The long-term success of this business is dependent upon increasing margins through greater volumes.We continue to increase the production of our energy storage products to
230、 meet high levels of demand,including the announcement of a new Megafactory in Shanghai.For Megapack,energy storage deployments can vary meaningfully quarter to quarter depending on the timing of specific project milestones.For Powerwall,better availability and growing grid stability concerns drive
231、higher customer interest.We remain committed to growing our retrofit solar energy business by offering a low-cost and simplified online ordering experience.In addition,we continue to seek to improve our installation capabilities and price efficiencies for Solar Roof.As these product lines grow,we wi
232、ll have to maintain adequate battery cell supply for our energy storage products and hire additional personnel,particularly skilled electricians,to support the ramp of Solar Roof.24 Cash Flow and Capital Expenditure Trends Our capital expenditures are typically difficult to project beyond the short-
233、term given the number and breadth of our core projects at any given time,and may further be impacted by uncertainties in future global market conditions.We are simultaneously ramping new products,ramping manufacturing facilities on three continents,piloting the development and manufacture of new bat
234、tery cell technologies and investing in autonomy and other artificial intelligence enabled products,and the pace of our capital spend may vary depending on overall priority among projects,the pace at which we meet milestones,production adjustments to and among our various products,increased capital
235、efficiencies and the addition of new projects.Owing and subject to the foregoing as well as the pipeline of announced projects under development,all other continuing infrastructure growth and varying levels of inflation,we currently expect our capital expenditures to be between$7.00 to$9.00 billion
236、in 2023 and in each of the following two fiscal years.Our business has recently been consistently generating cash flow from operations in excess of our level of capital spend,and with better working capital management resulting in shorter days sales outstanding than days payable outstanding,our sale
237、s growth is also facilitating positive cash generation.We have and will continue to utilize such cash flows,among other things,to do more vertical integration,expand our product roadmap and provide financing options to our customers.On the other hand,we are likely to see heightened levels of capital
238、 expenditures during certain periods depending on the specific pace of our capital-intensive projects and rising material prices and increasing supply chain and labor expenses resulting from changes in global trade conditions and labor availability associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.Overall,we ex
239、pect our ability to be self-funding to continue as long as macroeconomic factors support current trends in our sales.Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesFor a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates,refer to Part II,Item 7,Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our
240、 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2022.There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2022.Recent Accounting PronouncementsSee Note 1,Summary of Significant Accounting

243、motive&Services and Other SegmentAutomotive sales revenue increased$3.36 billion,or 22%,in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022,primarily due to an increase of 108,378 combined Model 3 and Model Y deliveries year over year despite a negative impact
244、 from the United States dollar strengthening against other foreign currencies in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the prior period.This was achieved from production ramping of Model Y at Gigafactory Shanghai,Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg,Gigafactory Texas and the Fremont Factory.
245、This increase was partially offset by lower average selling price on our vehicles driven by overall price reductions year over year.There was also a decrease of 2,630 Model S and Model X deliveries year over year.Automotive regulatory credits revenue decreased$158 million,or 23%,in the three months
246、ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022.We recognized$288 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to changes in regulation which entitled us to additional consideration for credits sold previously,in the absence of which we had an increase in aut
247、omotive regulatory credits revenue year over year.This increase was primarily due to the increase in volume as well as the regional mix of the credits sold.Automotive leasing revenue decreased$104 million,or 16%,in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2
248、022.The change is primarily due to a decrease in direct sales-type leasing revenue driven by lower deliveries year over year.This was partially offset by an increase from the growing portfolio of our direct operating lease program.Services and other revenue increased$558 million,or 44%,in the three
249、months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022.The change is primarily due to an increase in used vehicle revenue driven by increases in volume offset by decreases in average selling price of used Tesla and non-Tesla vehicles,non-warranty maintenance services revenue

255、billion,or 41%,in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022,in line with the growth in deliveries year over year,as discussed above.Further,the average combined cost per unit of our vehicles increased year over year due to increasing prices of raw mater
256、ials,manufacturing,logistics and warranty costs.These costs were partially offset by manufacturing credits earned as part of the IRA during the three months ended March 31,2023.There were also idle capacity charges primarily related to the ramping up of production in Gigafactory Texas and our propri
257、etary battery cells manufacturing during the three months ended March 31,2023.We had also incurred costs related to the ramp up of production in Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg during the three months ended March 31,2022.These increases in costs of revenue were positively impacted by the United State
258、s dollar strengthening against other foreign currencies in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the prior period.Cost of automotive leasing revenue decreased$75 million,or 18%,in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022,primarily due to
259、a decrease in direct sales-type leasing cost of revenue driven by lower deliveries year over year.This was partially offset by an increase in cost of revenue from the growing portfolio of our direct operating lease program.Cost of services and other revenue increased$416 million,or 32%,in the three
260、months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022.The change is primarily due to an increase in used vehicle cost of revenue driven by increases in volume offset by a decrease in costs of used Tesla and non-Tesla vehicle sales,an increase in non-warranty maintenance serv
261、ice cost of revenue,and an increase in costs of paid Supercharging,insurance services and retail merchandise.Gross margin for total automotive decreased from 32.9%to 21.1%in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022.This was driven by the changes in aut
262、omotive sales revenue and cost of automotive sales revenue,as well as a decrease in regulatory credits revenue,as discussed earlier.Gross margin for total automotive&services and other segment decreased from 30.5%to 19.9%in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended M
263、arch 31,2022,primarily due to the automotive gross margin decrease discussed above,partially offset by an improvement in our services and other gross margin.Additionally,services and other was a higher percentage of the segment gross margin during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior y
264、ear.Energy Generation and Storage SegmentCost of energy generation and storage revenue increased$673 million,or 98%,in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022,primarily due to increase in deployments of Megapack,increase in solar cash and loan deploym

277、sed from 10%to 9%in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022,primarily due to changes in mix of jurisdictional earnings.See Note 1,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
278、Report on Form 10-Q for further details.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesWe expect to continue to generate net positive operating cash flow as we have done in the last four fiscal years.The cash we generate from our core operations enables us to fund ongoing operations and production,our research and
279、development projects for new products and technologies including our proprietary battery cells,additional manufacturing ramps at existing manufacturing facilities such as the Fremont Factory,Gigafactory Nevada,Gigafactory Shanghai and Gigafactory New York,the ramp of Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg a
280、nd Gigafactory Texas,the construction of future factories,and the continued expansion of our retail and service locations,body shops,Mobile Service fleet,Supercharger network,energy product installation capabilities and autonomy and other artificial intelligence enabled products.In addition,because
281、a large portion of our future expenditures will be to fund our growth,we expect that if needed we will be able to adjust our capital and operating expenditures by operating segment.For example,if our near-term manufacturing operations decrease in scale or ramp more slowly than expected,including due
282、 to global economic or business conditions,we may choose to correspondingly slow the pace of our capital expenditures.Finally,we continually evaluate our cash needs and may decide it is best to raise additional capital or seek alternative financing sources to fund the rapid growth of our business,in
283、cluding through drawdowns on existing or new debt facilities or financing funds.Conversely,we may also from time to time determine that it is in our best interests to voluntarily repay certain indebtedness early.Accordingly,we believe that our current sources of funds will provide us with adequate l
284、iquidity during the 12-month period following March 31,2023,as well as in the long-term.See the sections below for more details regarding the material requirements for cash in our business and our sources of liquidity to meet such needs.Material Cash RequirementsFrom time to time in the ordinary cou
285、rse of business,we enter into agreements with vendors for the purchase of components and raw materials to be used in the manufacture of our products.However,due to contractual terms,variability in the precise growth curves of our development and production ramps,and opportunities to renegotiate pric
286、ing,we generally do not have binding and enforceable purchase orders under such contracts beyond the short-term,and the timing and magnitude of purchase orders beyond such period is difficult to accurately project.As discussed in and subject to the considerations referenced in Part I,Item 2,Manageme
287、nts Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsManagement Opportunities,Challenges and Uncertainties and 2023 OutlookCash Flow and Capital Expenditure Trends in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,we currently expect our capital expenditures to support our projects global
288、ly to be between$7.00 to$9.00 billion in 2023 and in each of the following two fiscal years.We also have certain obligations in connection with our operations at Gigafactory New York and Gigafactory Shanghai,as outlined in Part II,Item 7,Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
289、 Results of OperationsLiquidity and Capital ResourcesMaterial Cash Requirements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,2022.As of March 31,2023,we and our subsidiaries had outstanding$1.77 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness,of which$939 million is schedul
290、ed to become due in the succeeding 12 months.For details regarding our indebtedness,refer to Note 7,Debt,to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.29 Sources and Conditions of LiquidityOur sources to fund our material cash requirements are pred
291、ominantly from our deliveries and servicing of new and used vehicles,sales and installations of our energy storage products and solar energy systems,proceeds from debt facilities and proceeds from equity offerings,when applicable.As of March 31,2023,we had$16.05 billion and$6.35 billion of cash and
292、cash equivalents and short-term investments,respectively.Balances held in foreign currencies had a U.S.dollar equivalent of$4.26 billion and consisted primarily of Chinese yuan,euros and Canadian dollar.We had$5.16 billion of unused committed amounts under our credit facilities as of March 31,2023.C

296、d by$1.48 billion to$2.51 billion during the three months ended March 31,2023 from$4.00 billion during the three months ended March 31,2022.This decrease was primarily due to the overall increase in net operating assets and liabilities of$928 million and the decrease in net income excluding non-cash
297、 expenses,gains and losses of$554 million.The increase in our net operating assets and liabilities was mainly driven by a larger increase of inventory in the three months ended March 31,2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31,2022.Cash Flows from Investing ActivitiesCash flows from inves
298、ting activities and their variability across each period related primarily to capital expenditures,which were$2.07 billion for the three months ended March 31,2023 and$1.77 billion for the three months ended March 31,2022,mainly for the expansions of Gigafactory Texas,the Fremont Factory,Gigafactory

301、lsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding our debt obligations.30 ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKForeign Currency RiskWe transact business globally in multiple currencies and hence have foreign currency risks related to our revenue
302、,costs of revenue,operating expenses and localized subsidiary debt denominated in currencies other than the U.S.dollar(primarily the Chinese yuan,euro,Australian dollar and Canadian dollar in relation to our current year operations).In general,we are a net receiver of currencies other than the U.S.d
303、ollar for our foreign subsidiaries.Accordingly,changes in exchange rates affect our revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S.dollars as we do not typically hedge foreign currency risk.We have also experienced,and will continue to experience,fluctuations in our net income as a result o
304、f gains(losses)on the settlement and the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies that are not the local currency(primarily consisting of our intercompany and cash and cash equivalents balances).We considered the historical trends in foreign currency exchange rates
305、 and determined that it is reasonably possible that adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates of 10%for all currencies could be experienced in the near-term.These changes were applied to our total monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than our local currencies at t
306、he balance sheet date to compute the impact these changes would have had on our net income before income taxes.These changes would have resulted in a gain or loss of$435 million at March 31,2023 and$473 million at December 31,2022,assuming no foreign currency hedging.ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESEv

310、al Officer concluded that,as of March 31,2023,our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at a reasonable assurance level and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
311、processed,summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms,and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,as appropriate,to allow timely decisions regarding required
