Mexico Seeks Clarity from Elon Musk on Delayed Tesla Gigafactory Plans

Mexico's Economy Minister aims to meet with Elon Musk to discuss the future of a proposed Tesla factory amid U.S. political shifts.

Mexico's Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard plans to meet with Elon Musk to discuss the stalled Tesla Gigafactory project in Nuevo Leon.
The factory was announced in March 2023, but Tesla paused the project due to economic concerns and U.S. political developments.
Donald Trump's recent election victory complicates plans, as his policies may favor U.S.-based manufacturing over Mexican plants.
Tesla has shifted its focus to expanding production in Texas, citing economic uncertainties and potential U.S. tariffs on Mexican imports.
Despite local investments in infrastructure, Tesla has altered its production strategy, reducing the likelihood of the Mexican Gigafactory proceeding soon.
