On May 21, 2010, Tesla announced a
"strategic partnership" with Toyota, which agreed to purchase US$50 million in Tesla common stock issued in a private placement to close immediately after the IPO.
Executives at both companies said that they would cooperate on "the development of electric vehicles, parts, and production system and engineering support." Less than two months later, Toyota and Tesla confirmed that their first platform collaboration would be to build an electric version of the RAV4 EV. On June 29, 2010 Tesla Motors launched its initial public offering on NASDAQ. The IPO raised US$226 million at
$17 per share for the company. It was the first American car-maker to go public since the Ford Motor Company had its IPO in 1956.
