With 98.1 million shares outstanding and an offer price of $26.5 - $28.5 per share. This puts the potential cost of acquisition between $2.6 billion and $2.8 billion.


It's all stock, so the only "cost" is a devaluation of Tesla stock. That does matter somewhat for Tesla what with how frequently they raise new money.

I guess the losses of SolarCity will be an ongoing cash flow issue. I'm curious where SolarCity went wrong, their business was basically a bank investing solely in solar projects.


Yes, I too am extremely curious how this factors into Tesla's expenditures plan....where do they find the money for these things?? He must have been planning this for some time.


It's an all-equity deal from the letter


Oh...of course. This makes a lot of sense.
