We have ambitious goals and reaching them requires the oversight of a Board that is experienced and capable of continuing to create outsized value for Tesla shareholders.
The Tesla directors up for election – Elon Musk, Robyn Denholm and JB Straubel – bring deep institutional knowledge, complementary skills and expertise and a commitment to shareholder value creation that will be crucial for this next stage.
Importantly, they also have a proven track record in shaping Tesla’s future and overseeing the strategy and management of our company.
The Tesla Board firmly believes strong governance and accountability to shareholders are core to Tesla’s success. We measure the results of our corporate governance by shareholder returns.
Our Board is active, always evolving and designed to keep Tesla moving fast, adapting to challenges and staying ahead of the competition, so your investment can keep growing, too.
For too long, retail investors have faced technological barriers that made it hard for them to vote their shares. Tesla wanted to fix that.
So, we pioneered the creation of the Voluntary Retail Voting Program, which provides retail investors a no-fee, investor-directed voting process similar to those currently available to institutional investors.
Learn how to enroll here.
No. When you enroll in Tesla’s Voluntary Retail Voting Program, you will submit a standing instruction that applies to future meetings, and not to this meeting.
It’s important that you still vote your shares at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
