What's Up With Tesla's New Engineering Headquarters In California?

"We're excited to announce that Tesla's global engineering headquarters will be right here, at the former headquarters of Hewlett Packard," Musk said."This is a poetic transition from the company that founded Silicon Valley to Tesla."

The news came at an opening event at the Palo Alto location, during which Musk and Newsom were both present. Tesla’s Austin, Texas location will remain the company’s main headquarters, but now he says the Palo Alto site will be “effectively a headquarters of Tesla.” Musk also said that Tesla would be"kind of a dual-headquartered company," with engineering operations taking place in Palo Alto, while most of the automaker’s car manufacturing and corporate happenings would report to its Austin, Texas headquarters.

also remains a host to many rivaling autonomous driving companies, including the General Motors-owned Cruise and Google parent Alphabet’s Waymo . Additionally, Apple is testing autonomous driving and the tech giant is headquartered in Cupertino.In January, Tesla said its total California operations had increased to about 47,000 employees in the state. The company’s history in California is vast, and its Fremont factory was the first at-volume plant for the company’s cars.

“Although we are obviously expanding in many parts of the world, we've continued to expand in California the entire time,” Musk said. “Every year, we've grown our headcount in California significantly and we expect that to continue in the future.”
