Unlock Exclusive Access: Win a Private Tesla Gigafactory Tour with Elon Musk
Imagine walking through the colossal halls of Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, guided by none other than Elon Musk and renowned designer Franz von Holzhausen. This dream could become a reality for a lucky group of Tesla shareholders, who have the incredible opportunity to win a private tour of the state-of-the-art facility.
The highly anticipated tour, set for June 12, isn't just any factory walkthrough; it's a deep dive into the beating heart of Tesla's innovation hubs. Lucky winners will get an up-close look at the cutting-edge production lines of the Cybertruck and Model Y, witnessing firsthand the technology and craftsmanship that go into each vehicle.
How to Enter
Entering the contest is straightforward, but the golden ticket is secured by those who actively participate in Tesla's governance. Shareholders must vote their shares and submit proof of ownership and their voting activity. If digital submissions aren't your thing, the old-fashioned postcard entry remains an option. Each shareholder gets just one entry, regardless of the number of shares they hold or how they vote.
In an announcement on Twitter, Tesla underscored the simplicity and fairness of the contest: 'If you voted your TSLA shares, you have the chance to attend our Giga Texas tour with [@elonmusk](https://twitter.com/elonmusk) & [@woodhaus2](https://twitter.com/woodhaus2) as your guides.' The tweet immediately stirred excitement among Tesla enthusiasts.
Eligibility and Deadlines
To maintain fairness, Tesla has laid out some key eligibility criteria and deadlines. You must be a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner as of April 15, 2024. Proof of voting must be submitted by Friday, June 7, 2024, at 11:59 PM Central Time. The great news? No purchase or payment is required to enter or win, and your odds aren't improved by buying more shares.
Why This Matters
This initiative is more than just a golden ticket experience; it’s a clever strategy to encourage shareholders to cast crucial votes ahead of the annual meeting. Tesla's board knows that engaged shareholders are pivotal for the company's governance and future direction.
Back in 2018, one such critical vote won overwhelming support: a Performance Award plan for Elon Musk, tying his compensation directly to massive growth targets and shareholder returns. Fast forward to today, Musk's efforts have led to a jaw-dropping 1,100% return for shareholders in under six years. However, this compensation plan has come under scrutiny and recently, a Delaware Court ordered its cancellation.
One of the critical resolutions up for vote in this year's meeting involves reinstating this plan, reinforcing the importance of shareholder participation. 'This important decision belongs to you, the owners of the Company. We’re asking you to make your voices heard again and upheld the outcome of your 2018 vote,' Tesla stated, making it clear how crucial each vote is.
Don’t Miss Out
So, if you haven't voted yet, now is the time. Whether you're a long-time investor or a newcomer, this is your moment to make your voice count and win a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most innovative factories in the world. With the June 7 deadline looming, there’s no time to waste. Get your votes in, submit your proof, and you might just find yourself walking the factory floors with Elon Musk himself.
