Tesla says it has authoritatively moved its corporate headquarters from Silicon Valley to a huge factory under construction outside of Austin, Texas.
The organization made the declaration late Wednesday in a filing with U.S. securities regulators. CEO Elon Musk had said at the organization’s annual meeting in October that the move was coming.
The filing said the migration from Palo Alto, California, to what Tesla calls a “Gigafactory” on Harold Green Road close to Austin was done on Wednesday.

It wasn’t clear if all of the headquarters representatives could be needed to move. A message was left Wednesday looking for comment from Tesla, which has disbanded its media relations department.
Wedbush expert Daniel Ives said in October that he expects some of the 10,000 representatives in Palo Alto will not have any desire to leave the Bay Area, however says an enormous number will, because of Austin’s lower average cost for living. He said he figures Tesla will provide numerous with the option of remaining, yet expects 40% to half to make the move.
“The tax incentives down the road, we believe, will be massive when you compare taxes versus California,” Ives said. “Getting employees is much cheaper and easier in Texas.”
CEO Elon Musk alluded to taking action since the time an altercation with Alameda County, California, wellbeing authorities over returning the industrial facility in Fremont last year toward the beginning of the Covid pandemic.
Musk has said that he has moved his home from California to Texas, where there is no state individual personal duty.
