Where is Tesla's corporate headquarters located as of 2021?

As of 2021, Tesla's corporate headquarters was located in Austin, Texas.

Tesla announced in October 2021 that it would move its corporate headquarters from Palo Alto, California, to its developing Gigafactory Texas site near Austin. The company formally announced the relocation of its legal headquarters on December 1, 2021, making Austin the canonical answer for a question referring to Tesla's headquarters at that point.

The move reflected Tesla's expanding presence in Texas, where Gigafactory Texas was being built to produce vehicles and batteries. Tesla still retained its former Palo Alto facilities, so the company continued to have an important California presence even after the headquarters move.

Common mix-ups include Fremont, which is home to Tesla's vehicle assembly plant, and Palo Alto, the former headquarters. Shanghai is also a major Tesla manufacturing location, but it is not the company's corporate headquarters.
