Rusal (Aluminium auch für die Gigafactory Berlin):


https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/14/tesla-has-bought-aluminum-fr…

...
Tesla purchases Rusal aluminum for casting parts at its new vehicle assembly plant outside of Berlin, according to invoices, internal correspondence, and several current and former employees who spoke with CNBC on condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation.
...

There’s no indication that Rusal aluminum has been used in US production.
...



eine Lösung der Problematik könnte so aussehen; das würde aber mMn wieder dauern:

Rusal’s controlling shareholder, EN+ Group International, is reportedly considering a transfer of the company’s international assets to a new entity, which would have no Russian owners, management, or control.
...

Rusal is not Tesla’s sole or primary aluminum supplier. Tesla has worked for years with metals giant Hydro as a more significant supplier of aluminum, for example. According to Hydro’s website, the company’s aluminum metal production facilities are based throughout Europe, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Qatar. “Two-thirds of our primary aluminum production is based on renewable energy,” the company boasts.

But Musk’s car company has spent millions of Euros with Rusal since the end of 2020, according to invoices and other documents viewed by CNBC. A German subsidiary of Tesla has historically paid the Swiss subsidiary of Rusal through an Austrian bank.
...



da schau her:

One former employee with direct knowledge said Tesla’s previous CFO, Deepak Ahuja, was “allergic” to doing business in or with Russia due to the the rise and impacts of Russian organized crime in the country, and risks of sanctions on any suppliers or partners in Russia following Moscow’s invasion and annexation of Crimea in 2014.

After Ahuja announced his resignation in January 2019, with Zachary Kirkhorn taking over as CFO in March that year, Tesla worked with a consulting firm called Global Counsel Limited to analyze the business environment, market potential and risks of working in Russia, according to this former employee and internal records viewed by CNBC.
...

By December 2020, Tesla decided to start sourcing some aluminum from Rusal for casting at its new plant being built in Germany and was doing so through February 2022.

Musk’s Claim 2018 Tweet Was Truthful Gets Hard Look From Judge
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-claim-2018-tweet-truthfu…
...
To fend off allegations that the missive was fraudulent, Musk repeated in a court filing last month what he explained three and a half years ago: Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund had agreed to support his attempt to take the company private.

“It seems to me it’s not factually very complicated,” U.S. District Judge Edward Chen said at a hearing Thursday in San Francisco. He added that though the Saudi fund had expressed interest, “funding had not been secured.”

Parsing Musk’s intent behind the Twitter post is at the heart of a dispute about whether the statement was “indisputably false,” as the shareholders argue -- or, as his lawyers say, it was “entirely truthful.”

Investors are asking Chen to decide a couple of key legal issues by himself, without putting them to a jury. A ruling in favor of the investors would allow them to focus at trial solely on connecting Musk’s alleged false statement to their stock market loss.

Back in 2018, the tweet also got Musk and Tesla sued for fraud by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Musk is now seeking to be freed from restrictions on his tweeting that he agreed to as part of a settlement of that case. “I would never lie to shareholders,” Musk said this week in a sworn statement to a New York judge who’s handling the SEC case.

“Let’s talk about falsity,” Chen said at the start of Thursday’s hearing. Much of the debate that followed focused on “Funding secured.”

Alex Spiro, a lawyer for Musk, said shareholders are over-thinking the tweet. “I do worry about dissecting it too much,” he told Chen, adding that “context matters.” Importantly, Musk is rich enough that he could have funded the going-private transaction himself, Spiro said.

“None of Mr. Musk’s deals have ever had a funding issue,” he told the judge. The entrepreneur -- now the world’s richest person -- has “great personal resources that he can bring to bear.” If anything, shareholders interpreted Musk’s tweet to mean “Elon might be making a bid to take it private,” Spiro said.

Nicholas Porritt, a lawyer representing shareholders, focused on the past-tense of the final word of the tweet. “Secured,” Porritt said, “means it’s in the bag, it’s locked and loaded.”

Yet, Musk never spoke to any potential investors other than the Saudi fund, which he intended to only take a small stake in the unformed transaction, Porritt said. “The whole thing was so tentative, so pie in the sky at this point in time, that he never had an idea of how much money” it would require, the lawyer said.

Chen had his doubts, too.

There was no term sheet with the Saudi fund, no price and no conditions laid out, Chen said. “A lot of things hadn’t been discussed, it seemed quite preliminary,” he said, adding: “How can there be a quote, deal, even if it’s a handshake deal?”

The judge said he’d issue a final ruling later.

Tesla is tripling your Model Y delivery time if you don’t add on the $12,000 FSD option



A recent update to Tesla’s website configurator reveals that it is prioritizing reservations that include the $12,000 full self-driving (FSD) option, at least for the Model Y and Model 3. For reservations of the Tesla Model Y in particular, delivery estimates change from six months from today (September), to two months (May), simply by choosing the FSD add-on. ...

So wie's nun ausschaut, soll also die SEC als Grund für EM's Abgang als Tesla-CEO herhalten:
