Tesla will now move its HQ and future programs to Texas/Nevada immediately. If we even retain Fremont manufacturing activity at all, it will be dependent on how Tesla is treated in the future. Tesla is the last carmaker left in CA.”.
Musk said Tesla plans to build “An ecological paradise” at the Austin location near the Colorado River.
