- toomuchtodo 5y agoSymbolic move with some logistic practicality with Boca Chica and his 400 sq ft tiny house [1] being home base at Starbase. All signs point to Tesla continuing manufacturing at Fremont and they just opened a Megapack manufacturing facility in Lathrop, CA (hiring 1k-2k workers) [2].

- azernik 5y agoYeah, the 400sqft thing is his on-worksite cabin, not his home.
