This is what the new plant will look like Tesla in Mexico.
The president and founder of the brand, Elon Musk, confirmed this Wednesday that the electric car company will build a new gigafactory (as its plants are named) in the state of Nuevo León, in Mexico. This as part of the plan to increase car production in the medium and long term.
“To be clear, we are not taking a plant from one place to another.. We will expand our production capacity in the other plants,” Elon Musk said at Tesla Investor Day on Wednesday.
The announcement was accompanied by an image illustrating the plant to be built in Nuevo León, an industrial and logistics center in the north of the country.

The plant will be Tesla’s first car production plant in Latin America and the fifth in the world, after those it already operates in Fremont and Austin (United States), Shanghai (China) and Berlin (Germany).
The Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, already announced on Tuesday the arrival of Tesla in Mexico. The Undersecretary for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights of the Mexican Foreign Ministry, Martha Delgado, reported that Tesla will invest 5 billion dollars in the plant.
In addition to presenting the advances of the Cyebertruck and its Semi transport vehicle, Tesla’s Investor Day was highly anticipated to learn about expansion plans of the company and how it will produce more electric cars at more affordable prices. So far, the least expensive Tesla costs around $40,000.
Tesla has a goal of producing 20 million vehicles a year by 2030, lor that it would make it the largest auto assembler in the world.
