Roughly 2,000 Tesla employees in Texas are H-1B visa holders, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) H-1B Employer Data Hub.

Tesla reportedly had 23,000 employees in Texas in 2023, per the Austin-American Statesman.

The H-1 B Salary Database for 2024 reveals that Tesla filed H-1B visa applications with USCIS to fill roles ranging from analysts to engineers to construction managers.
