According to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Elon Musk has pledged to build the automaker’s next gigafactory in northern Mexico, in Monterrey, the capital of the northern state of Nuevo Leon. This is a deal that has been worked on for some time: late last year musk, had visited Nuevo Leon to meet with the Governor of the region.
Even so, there were some questions as to whether Tesla would be approved to build in the area: After Monterrey suffered severe water shortages in 2022, President López Obrador said the government would not allow factories that used excessive water.
Tesla has made its choice for its new factory! Or Turkey?
After a series of phone calls with Elon Musk to Tesla an exception has been made. “There is a commitment that all the water used in the production of electric cars will be recycled,” said López Obrador, adding that the factory would also mean “a significant investment and a large number of jobs.”
Tesla’s Mexico in Monterrey As for what he plans to build. We’ll have to wait another day to find out. The Mexican President was unclear about exactly what the new factory would produce, but Tesla has a battery factory in Reno, Nevada, and Telsa It is worth noting that it has announced a major expansion at its facility, where it has invested $3.6 billion in mass production of the semi truck.
