Tesla could have changed his mind and installed his Gigafactory at the AIFA.
Mexico is one of the world’s largest potential lithium producers.
The agreement between Tesla and the government of Nuevo León could be dropped by the CFE.
After the problems revealed regarding the lack of electricity supply by the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the Tesla company would be thinking of finally moving its plant or Gigafactory to Mexico City, next to the new Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA).
In this way, the business “agreed” with Samuel García, governor of Nuevo León, with the intention of taking advantage of Mexican resources and competing against the shoal would be cut short. Let us remember that Mexico, in general, is one of the countries with the greatest natural capital of lithium. According to what was said by the Mineral Commodity Summaries of the United States Geological Survey, Mexico sits in the table of the 10 most important in the matter, with 1.7 million tons of reserves.
In this way, it might not really matter to the billionaire where the plant is placed, as long as it meets the requirements and the benefits they want to reap.
Tesla’s Gigafactory could make it to AIFA; this we know
A few months ago, the interest that the also owner of Twitter had in investing in a gigafactory in Mexico was made public. However, the reports indicated that its location would be in Nuevo León. This according to “secret” reports where the meeting between the businessman and the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, was assured.
After this meeting, it seems clearer why the media could not reveal much about the agreement. Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed that Elon Musk’s interest is to settle in Mexico, with AIFA now also being an option.
“Yes, he is interested,” said the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. “We have been working with them for a year and a half, but I would not want to make any announcements because it corresponds to them, but we have been working for a year and a half,” he added, noting that he preferred not to make any announcements without confirmation from Tesla.
In the same way, last Wednesday he said that during the pandemic, Elon Musk and Tesla verified that Mexico was an important and reliable country, referring to the 127 factories in Mexican territory that produce parts for Tesla.
Despite everything, the interest in moving to Mexico City has not been confirmed or denied, although it could be a possibility with what Marcelo Ebrard said.
