Reno/Tahoe area resident here. Oh yeah, +1 for Reno :-)
While there has long been a surprisingly sizable population of engineering professionals living in and working OUT of the area, over the last few years an enthusiastic startup business culture has emerged.
There are multiple incubator / co-working facilities, a convenient airport, beautiful environment and as you note, a favorable tax structure.
Tesla, along with the gaming and defense industries, should really be just anchor businesses in a much deeper technology ecosystem. Reno very much has this potential.

As you say, a real sleeper.
