The debt-to-capital ratio of Tesla Inc for the years ending December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2024, remained consistently at 0.00. This indicates that Tesla's total debt as a proportion of its total capital (debt plus equity) was negligible or zero during this period. A low or zero debt-to-capital ratio suggests that the company has been relying more on equity financing rather than debt to fund its operations and growth. This may reflect a conservative approach to managing its capital structure, potentially reducing financial risk and providing better financial flexibility for the company.
