Counsel,

I am following up on Rocco’s email.

Despite the parties’ prior meet-and-confers, document discovery in the underlying action
closes on August 11. Unless the parties can promptly reach a resolution, that deadline
leaves Neural AI no practical alternative but to move to compel by the end of this week or,
at the latest, August 10, to preserve its rights.

To reduce burden and potentially avoid motion practice, I am attaching a short set of
questions intended to guide your investigation and help identify the responsive
information, and also recirculating the draft declaration we previously shared, and that
Tesla may revise to ensure its accuracy.

If Tesla commits to provide an executed declaration, Neural AI is willing to consider
accepting the declaration in lieu of further document production and/or deposition
testimony, subject to resolving any material gaps. Otherwise, the discovery deadline will
force Neural AI to move to compel by or before August 10 to preserve its rights. Even if a
motion becomes necessary, we remain open to resolving the issues promptly and mooting
or withdrawing the motion through compliance.

We are available this week to further meet and confer as necessary.

Regards,

Tanner Laiche

  Ms. Cremona,

  Discovery has not been extended; only depositions. Written
  discovery will still close on August 11.

  We can work with you on a deposition date between now and
  September 14. But we do not have flexibility on the timing of your
  RFP responses and document production beyond the 1 week
  extension we noted below.

  Best,

  Rocco
