The Datoz consultancy estimates that Tesla has at least eight supplier companies in Monterrey, which supply components for its gigafactory located in Texas. This fact demonstrates the growing importance of the region as a supply center for the production of electric vehicles. Likewise, a greater occupancy of offices and industrial buildings has been observed, going from 9% to 3% compared to the period prior to the pandemic.
