The Real Reason Tesla Chose Mexico..

Tesla has chosen the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon as the location of their next vehicle production plant, also known as a Giga factory.

This will almost certainly be the first Tesla factory to produce their next generation vehicle platform, the company's first economy car or Model 2 or 25 K Tesla, whatever you want to call it.

This is the vehicle that Elon Musk anticipates will outsell every other Tesla vehicle combined.

The new platform will be built in half the amount of time it takes to build a Model 3 .

Giga Mexico will be making cars for Mexicans , but it will also serve as a global export hub for South and Central America .

The state of Nuevo Leon , where Tesla will be setting up shop, is already a modern manufacturing hub.

Mexico has free trade agreements with 50 different countries.

Tesla 's new operation in Mexico will be unlike anything we have seen before from the company.

Tesla might be making battery packs and cars in Mexico , but we know that they will be processing their battery grade lithium in Texas and then shipping that material out to various locations on the continent.
