Housing affordability is mentioned by the company's chief executive as a big problem for operating in the Bay Area.

The announcement drew cheers and applause from the small audience at Tesla's manufacturing plant in Austin, where Mr Musk delivered his address.

"Mr Musk's announcement highlights yet again the urgency for California to address our housing affordability crisis and the many other challenges that make it so difficult for companies to grow here," Jim Wunderman, president of business advocacy group Bay Area Council, said. One of Silicon Valley's founding companies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, has also said it will move to the Houston area.Mr Musk also touted Tesla's record vehicle deliveries this year, while noting that global supply-chain disruptions leading to a shortage of computer chips remain a challenge."Basically, if we get the chips, we can do it."

Tesla said last week that it delivered 241,300 electric vehicles in the third quarter, despite the shortage of computer chips that has hit the entire auto industry.
