Compared to other mega-cap cos, this is relatively weak disclosure given new Reg S-K requirements (https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2020-192). Disclosure on this is all the more important given their lower human capital stakeholder scores from 3rd party ratings (e.g., https://justcapital.com/companies/tesla-inc).
