The Real Reason Tesla Chose Mexico.. 

I like much Mexico and Tesla intelligent positivism and dynamism .

Setting up Mexico is very important we need them to be just as good as us so people stay in their countries instead of going to others.... Can't have UBI until it can be implemented everywhere which will require full automated production of goods... This is another reason why Elon is doing this.

Mexico has a great engineering group and Tesla wants the smartest and cheapest labor! Mexican people are smart and they work for low wages. Mexico is next to USA and that’s a plus.

Tesla will finally make what Americans want to drive after they get the World driving electric cars.

cartel chose hahahahaha get it.!

cheap labour and tax exemptions.

​@Dr23rippa not just that! There are many more reasons why elon would want to take his business to the beautiful country if mexico. Elon has enough money already, smart people understand why he took tesla there. And I bet it won't be the only gigafactory he's building there.

Mexico is more than the headlines. It is a great place that has the possibility of much more. I enjoy it.

@@Hugo-py2ce he will need at least 6 more just for North America if he doesn't build a couple in Canada....it's staggering. I hope Elon sees the light on this. Sell GigaFactories to whichever country wants one. I'm ready to buy one. I don't want a chinese import. I prefer a North American built vehicle to purchase. Built on this continent.

@@platoon1081 si VIVA la Cartels , mucho fentanyl ........ ARIBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes exactly

Yep better price

Chinese are already on Mexico, most of the job opportunities on my state (Tamaulipas, the neighbourgh of Nuevo Leon) come from Chinese/Taiwanese companies. Also before Mexico restricted it's lithium sources the goverment sold a big percentage of their lithium to chinese companies. China prefers to use México on other ways.

coming from a supplier manufacturer for the automotive industry, China is growing exponentially in the EV sector. BYD is also arriving to Mexico with 3 EV cars, presumably arriving before Tesla, although those will be imported rather than manufactured there. Its really interesting because there are other Chinese manufacturers that are also coming into Mexico to do business (Chirey, MG, Changan Motors, JAC, BYD, and many more)

there are also rummors that someone is looking to import those 2000 dlls mini ev trucks from China to sell them through online marketplaces in Mexico

Y si va a creser

Not really, too many terrorists there

very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $600k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from a financial-advisorr, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

*"LINDA PEREZ LEWIS".*

That's my licensed Financial advisor you can easily look her up, Thank me later!

If you move quick enough, you can move to Mexico where your money is worth 3x as much. But you might want to hurry. I doubt the window to take advantage of it will last long. If all this stuff is true about manufacturing in Mexico and the new infrastructure projects (which they are true) the peso will probably worth twice as much as it is right now against the dollar within the next 10 years. You could retire in Mexico from 500k right now. Buy a house cash etc. Get some assets. A nice condo near the beach goes for $250k right now will prolly be $500-$700k by the end of the decade

Here in Hermosillo Sonora Mexico we have the Ford factory with the Bronco, we also made the Lincoln MKZ in the past

Many Japanese companies are in Mexico too

I heard even 200 Chinese companies, Mexico is the new china china

My VW was made in Mexico

The state of Sonora has massive lithium deposits and the Mexican president has already moved to nationalize lithium and develope its mining besides Mexico taxes imports heavily so probably Tesla will source lithium from Mexico

@@lih-fk8by That's right, and President Lopez Obrador has already spoken with Elon Musk about Sonora's lithium.

Exactly as Li H says, there are huge chances that lithium is extracted from Mexico as the reservres are greater than those from US and probably simplifies the supply chain.

Mexico president is the best one yet

​@@goatbebryant4915Yes he is. He's amazing!

This massive Giga Factory is going to be manufacturing for the U.S. Market. There will be more than the $25K car made there. While this Vid says that the $25K car is not for the U.S. market, reading comments from Americans in various forums there is plenty of interest plus the $7,500 tax credit will make it compelling. At investor day Tesla said the primary production at Mexico is vehicles for Autonomous driving. This poses other factors to consider. When will Robo Taxis be feasible? Where would Tesla start it’s Robo Taxi trial and where would be the first cities of implementation of Robo Taxis be?. Another thought is the $25K car is going to have worldwide appeal and when will Tesla start manufacture at the other Giga factories as transportation to markets is a big consideration as to cost, logistics and time. There is a shortage of car carrier ships now.

You say it. Mexico qualifies for the 7500 $ NOW. But you cannot expect that this stays like this for years.

No the main reasons are cheap prostituts for Elon!

How is there pollution problems

don't think tesla cares about tax credits

Thanks for keeping the truth in retrospect of the news. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Chillll cuz we all know it gets cold asff from 8 p.m-10 a.n

And corrupt politicians

​@@omegadeepblue1407 that's pretty much a constant in all countries all over the world, the difference is who's funding them and how do you define corrupt. For example US politicians take bribe- i mean "donations" for their campaigns from companies that they definitely do not help in any way, shape or form, something that definitely shouldn't be illegal right? Not like it could cause conflicts of interest A

Colonization is why Mexico is not a superpower. Take a look around the world, the superpowers of today were the Colonizers not the colonized. Not an equal economic playground, with constant layers exploitation and corruption.

VW has been in Puebla, just about forever.

The che4p labour and spl0iting sector and the growing c0rrupti0n factories seems very nice in my opinion. Great factors for a ly1ng scummy billi0naire to go to👌👏

​@@joaop4585 cheap labor is due to high demand, low cost of living, increase opportunities and competition for workers and you end up with better payed employees in the long run. Corruption is a constant all over the world, same shit would happen in Texas if it was built there. Ultimately it's better to have these businesses moving to Mexico for their local economy as it will stimulate the national economy as a whole and actually even reduce immigration to the US. It's a net positive believe it or not. If you however want to argue about saving the planet and not exploiting resources, a cup of feel good juice ain't gonna keep you fed so cope.

I wonder how they are 😢going to deal with the lack of water it is terrible as it is .The giga factory demands the equivalent of 4 or more times the consumption of the while population of Monterrey.

​@@joaop4585shut up bitch Mexico has the potential to do great things we are heading to the next world power 😎🇲🇽

The vid literally said just that

I agree, and initially that may happen if G-Berlin isn't tooling up to produce them there by that time (don't think exports to the EU will be part of the first 18 months or more of production, maybe even longer, if North American demand absorbs everything they can produce since transport costs will cut into profits ;?)

Why do i need to pay import taxes then when things come over from europe?

Honestly out of many country out their Mexico is one of the few were most like and has many good realtionship and trades deals that any company that set up their can expect easy trade with near anyone on the planet

It really is that why a lot of Americans are looking for property to buy in mexico

Usa would not allow it,cmon we all know it

The big cartels are very much middle men for U.S. government and corporations. Drug smuggling makes sure that U.S. privatized for profit prisons stay filled with people that buy, sell and use drugs. Cartels get weapons from the U.S. government, Operation Gast and Furious for example. Illegal immigrants are encouraged to come, not to help people better their lives but to be used as political pawns as easy votes and to grow the welfare class that becomes dependent on government. Even three Mexican Presidents have been revealed to be receiving regular payments from the C.I.A. to get them to be more lax on illegal activities near the border. I'm with you on looking to retire in Mexico though. The international hierarchy is switching towards Mexico raising above the U.S. much sooner than we think so all the problems people think about happening in Mexico will become more so a U.S. issue. I do have a bit of concern regarding the E.U. style union planned for North America but I still think Mexico will be better off than the U.S. in that situation.

The US profits as much from the Cartels as the Cartels themselves if not more so that will never happen

Your making a wise choice man , i personally own property in Mexico, it's paradise ! Their economy is strong ppl out there actually live better , the news likes to focus on Cartel alley and one crime here and there and neglect to mention that right now México is the 2nd most visited country in the world ! Over 30million ppl have gone this year and the news talks about 1 incident here and there , literally nothing ! Compared to the 50 shootings I had in my city of Chicago this past weekend ! Lol but I Live in the North side and I don't see any of that nonsense , same with Mexico, they have certain areas that are bad just like the U.S does ..

Trains and trucks

That is definitely a legit concern. But it seems they are investing heavily in railways right now, but mostly in the Yucatan. They most definitely need to invest in sea ports

They're building the Istmus corridor to take some pressure off the Panama Canal. Shou;d be done this year. The Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos ports are expected to be some of the biggest deep water ports in North America. They're also doing upgrades to mayor ports.

No it isnt!

Yes. Much better work ethic than American workers. My cheaper Nissan manufactured in Mexico has everything fit perfectly. Expensive Teslas made in the U.S. come out with all kinds of flaws and problems with fit. They have to be sent back for repairs and adjustments.

💯!!

This is true, Mexicans put in more work on the clock than any other There is a video about it

@Javier Valencia Buen punto. Buenos deseos.

Mexicans only work hard in the US 😂 soy Mexicano del estado de Jalisco

I'm not in the US but I recently incorporated my startup in the US, thinking that that's where the talents, money and opportunities are..oh boy am I wrong? 😂 Went to SF, LA this year and man.. places feel like real-life cyberpunk night cities. I'm moving to Mexico next year to set up my engineering shop. 😂 See you there! I guess?

@@xXxIMMORTALxXx Good call. Right next to the KIA plant is a Chinese based company that makes those robots used in the manufacturing process. Or something like that. And yes, the US is becoming a really bad B movie from the 80's. 😂

Just need to make sure that is followed. A certain "technological" billionaire has quite a history of exploitation...

True. If they wanted cheaper labor, they could have gone to Central America. Small cars are more common in Colombia than in Mexico or Brazil, but the Mexican peso is stronger than Colombia's.

"Wouldn't be that sure" my brother in Christ the avg American makes at least 6 times as much as the avg. Mexican. Not to mention Mexico's minimum wage is the lowest in the region.

Cual gente? Que no escuchaste que la fabrica va ser altamente automatica? Los especialistas que ocupen los van a jalar de afuera.

Soon all car manufacturing will be in Mexico and we’ll see reverse migration back there for the jobs.

Central America outside Costa Rica and Panama would be a lot cheaper and closer to the South American market.

Yes but USA will become a poor country eith NO good jobs

Yeah until the cartels take it over and retool it into a weapons factory

I thought the largest lithium reserves were in Chile?

All your news about the 'Quality' of Chinese Manufactured EV's ... is a 'Doomsday' message for Europe's Car industry, (and the soon to follow 'hit' to America's manufacturers). Still, Progress must go on ... Thanks for your info !

BTW it took Giga Shanghai over 10 months from ground breaking to production of cars to market.

@@russell2449 say we are conservative.......building a manufacturing center and having it spit out 5000 units per week , in less than 16 months, is mind boggling. If they get it to 12 months and amp production to 10K unit a week, and still require another 12 of such manufacturing centers, is surreal. Canada on its own could support 4 such centers. That would be enough production for its market and bleed into border states.....all at a discounted US dollar ( 30%) and a strong workforce.

Settle down pocket protector the first displacement of earth by bull dozer hasn’t even take place yet 😅

@@mimusic1853 WTF does that have to do with anything I stated??? Put a cork in it, no one asked for comments from the peanut gallery 😅🤣😂🥱

This is a whole new ball game sonny get with the program😮 you will soon see the meg -richness of Mexico

Have you tried to use a distributor cap from mexico on a small block ford ? they need to pull it off our shelves in our parts stores. They don't work .

@@sandmantk4901 I have actually, and I have had relatively few problems with them, might be time to ditch the dizzy and upgrade to a modern system would also be a valid idea.

Other than for batteries, which imo will still lag car production in the US for the next 1.5 years, I agree, but there's a very LARGE Asian market that's just opening up so imo they'll be able to absorb all the excess production by the end of the year ;?)

_"...mentioning the political risks..."_ 🚧 Absolutely!

ALSO I NEVER heard anyone say that G-Mex isn't going to produce cars for the US market, please SHOW ME A QUOTE where Tesla says this!!!!!

@@russell2449 I agree with you there, And if I have to slither down to Mexico and drive my little Tesla 2 hot hatch back to Murica myself, I will do so 🧐

@@russell2449 starting in 2023 electric cars made in Mexico and bought in the US will qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit, make no mistake that is the reason all of the sudden Tesla has decided to build in Mexico, they will be doing a ton of importing to the US from Mexico.

@@anthonyd.8067 I agree, that's why I'm wondering where he got his information from because he made it sound as if he KNEW cars made in G-Mex weren't meant for the US market which is absolute nonsense imho ;?)

PLUS, and this is KEY, there's a HUGE PENT UP DEMAND for affordable EV's, MILLIONS of Americans WANT a Tesla and just can't afford to spend close to $40K for a new car, but if the "Model 2" actually manages to come close to the predicted $25K, that's going to open up a market of millions of new customers!

I see I comment

I think they should both because ever since the model y been cheaper everyone start to order it and they just took delivery everyday new 2023 model y on the road

Why would they? You can't claim the $7,500 ev tax credit unless the car is final assemblied in the US as per the new Inflation Reduction Act tax rules

​@@LincolnLog USMCA ensures that cars assembled in Mexico and Canada will be favored by the US Tax Credit.

RE: The Cartels: Perhaps the USA's next president, will do something about those cartels...

They will be fine, cartels are not going to mess with tesla. More money in the country.

I hope they can change it and also help with the migrant situation in a small way. Seeing as the factory is moving towards a dark factory.....they won't employ the thousands traditional factories used to. ....but it offers hope and a catalyst for more industry. That means more work. More opportunity.........now its for Governments to do the heavy lifting and act responsibly. Elon is doing his part.

Elon Musk agreed with President López Obrador to help with technological solutions for the water issue.

Could that also be the reason why some US lawmakers want to invade Mexico? For their lithium reserves.

Not to mention the cheap labor.

Mexico has 0.9 million metric tons of reserves of lithium, just like the US and Canada. Chile and Australia have the largest in the world, so no, the selling power is not in Mexicos side on this one. Chile, Australia, Argentina and China have the power of lithium. And now, scientists have discovered a method to extract lithium from the ocean, check mate on the reserves. And Japan just released sodium batteries... no need for lithium in the near future.

@@carloszenteno it's is my boy since mexico is closer and has free trade with the US. Money wise is still better investment. How much money would it take and time to logistically move goods through Argentina, chile and Australia.

You mean the Kingdom of New Spain, which was a huge North American state, the center of global trade between Asia and Europe... there was never an "Aztec Empire"; (that little thing was half the size of present day Spain), and most Mexicans don't have "Aztec" ancestry; they do have Spanish however, and other indigenous ancestry...
