It should come as no surprise to most people that Tesla is hiring to fill positions at its new Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. However, with the global chip shortage and other supply chain constraints, along with the unknowns related to the timing of Tesla's production ramp, it may seem quick to some that Tesla is making public announcements about hiring.
That said, CEO Elon Musk has said in the past that employees may be hard to come by, and he's been pushing for people to move into the Austin, Texas, area since the middle of last year. In fact, he also pressed for an uptick in housing in the areas surrounding the massive automotive and EV battery factory.
