Tesla's expansion in Palo Alto came even after CEO Elon Musk
announced last week that the company was moving its headquarters from Palo Alto,
California to Austin, Texas.
The person said Tesla does not have enough space for its
current offices, which led the company to secure an additional site.
Earlier, real estate news provider the Registry reported
Tesla has leased 325,000 square feet at 1501 Page Mill Road from HP,
citing sources with knowledge of the leasing market.
Musk has said Tesla will keep expanding activities in
California, including boosting output for its car factory in Fremont and its
battery plant in Nevada by 50 percent.
Musk, who had said the Texas move was due to lack of space
at the Fremont factory and expensive housing prices in California, did not
elaborate on how many people would move to Texas.
Tesla has 12,000 employees in the San Francisco Bay area,
including 750 in Palo Alto, according to estimates by Silicon Valley Institute
for Regional Studies.
Neither Tesla nor HP were immediately available for comment.
