Tesla Inc. is pricing its stock offering at $767 a share, the company said in a regulatory filing Friday.

The price of the electric-car company's offering, which could raise a little more than $2 billion, is lower than the $804 a share the stock closed at Thursday, the day the company announced the offering. Shares climbed 4.8% on Thursday, up from $767.29 a share a day earlier.

The company's offering could bring in proceeds of about $2.01 billion, after an underwriting discount, according to Tesla's Friday filing. The raise could increase by about $300 million if underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk -- who in January said it didn't make sense for Tesla to raise money -- is buying as much as $10 million worth of shares as part of this stock offering.

Shares of Tesla fell 2.4% in premarket trading.
