The citizens of Texas will quickly grow tired of Elon and his antics, and in particular his defiance of laws, rules, regulations etc.
Texas doesn't have the crazy laws that California has and Texas is very pro business and doesn't treat their business' like the enemy.
The Houston news media had a report last week that a Fort Bend judge and others are actively pursing Elon to move his headquarters to the Sugar Land area.
I live in SW Houston and have been here since 1970. Any business that relocates anywhere near Houston is nuts !!! Flooding is a persistent problem here and it is an area wide problem not just localized. Central Texas would be a much wiser choice.....
I got the impression that Austin area was in the forefront because of the tech workforce available.- SportsmenExplorer II

Maybe he plans on using tents again. :)
“We are told that the decision for the site is not set in stone since Tesla was apparently given a few options in the greater Austin area, but Musk is said to want to start construction extremely soon and aims to have Model Y vehicles coming out of the plant by the end of the year.“
Seven months to build a plant and get it up and running? That seems very aggressive. I have seen manufacturing facilities moved to another building and set up and running in a month. In those cases you are talking about existing infrastructure and capital. Maybe Elon has an assembly line sitting in a warehouse somewhere?!
That would probably work but seems to me that’s tornado territory. Not sure that would turn out well. :).
My wife likes to point out to people that her Tesla was made in a tent. LOL. :).- fj12ryderExplorer III

Yah that is tight. Maybe a limited number of Cybertruck prototypes or test fleet like they did for the model 3. One thing they don’t need for cybertruck is a paint booth it’s all stainless steel.
Cybertruck has been resized for better sales in GB and Europe. Should be interesting.
