Electric automaker Tesla Motors is looking to raise up to $214 million through a secondary public offering of its shares and a private placement to fund development of the Model X – the battery-powered CUV due in late 2013ish.
Tesla hopes to raise $158.5 million through a public offering of 6.095 million of its common shares at $26 per. In a private placement at that same rate, Tesla says it will sell 1.5 million shares to the automaker's chief executive officer, Elon Musk, and 644,475 shares to Blackstar Investco, an affiliate of Daimler AG.
In its latest SEC regulatory filing (pdf), Tesla revealed that a Model X prototype is on track to be unveiled near the end of 2011, with a launch set for the fourth quarter of 2013. On Wednesday, Tesla (TSLA) shares shot up 8.4 percent, closing at $28.98. Hat tip to Roy!
