Toyota had bought about 3 percent of Tesla for $50 million in 2010.
The Japanese company had said, at the time, that it was impressed by "Tesla's start-up culture", with Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, calling the partnership "historic".
The companies went on to jointly develop the RAV4 electric vehicle, of which some 2,500 were sold.

In 2014, Toyota sold part of its stake in Tesla.

Toyota's long-range electric vehicles are expected to launch around 2020.
The Japanese company has been a pioneer in developing hybrid engines, with the introduction of the hybrid gasoline-electric Prius in 1997.
