(Dec 31, 2021) Sudden changes in the operational and market conditions indicate that the sum of undiscounted future cash flows from GigaFactory is now estimated at $5,000,000. The fair value of the GigaFactory as of the date is $4,000,000. After recognizing depreciation expense for 2021 as scheduled, Tesla wrote-off the GigaFactory. The remaining service life is reduced to additional 8 years and the residual value is updated to $500,000. Depreciation for the Gigafactory on these new parameters will start from 2022 with the double-declining method.

*Machinery's estimated total production capacity is 80,000 units of cars. During 2021, Tesla produced a total of 20,000 units using the Machinery.

Teslas 2022 transactions with regard to PP&E are as follow:

(Jun 30, 2022) Truck was sold for $50,000.
