They'll probably have the same problem any other big engineering firm has trying to move from California:

Austin is nice to visit, but who wants to live there?

Well, alot, but they'll end up keeping a huge part of their engineers in California. The ones good at math and who know how to manage their time.

The ones who don't, well, they live in the Central Valley, and well, Austin is an improvement. As long as you don't miss mountains and nice roads to drive on.

Don’t forget the Texas Mosquitoes.

They should have moved to Oregon. Lots of great open space with plenty of sun east of Bend.

Isn’t Rivian in Illinois? Normal something. Don’t think it’s CA.
Their manufacturing plant is but their HQ is in Irvine, CA

I already started looking for blocks around Austin in 2017. Should have bought some back then. Canyon Lake area looks ok. But I'm open to suggestions.
