Earlier this week, the governor of the state of Nuevo Leon, Samuel Garcia Sepulveda, met with a few Tesla executives overseeing the construction of Gigafactory Mexico.
The governor shared the progress made by Tesla Giga Mexico via Instagram recently. According to Governor Sepulveda, access and Mobility Works will soon begin at Gigafactory Mexico.
“My friends and colleagues from Tesla are very happy that they have their huge factories in Austin and San Francisco; they will already have direct flights when they come here to settle down,” he said. I’m also about to get a Gigafactory startup from Tesla. We will start with the whole issue of water, it is treated water, starting with the train, adaptations and access to the highway (Monterrey-Saltillo) to the station, so it is absolutely good news, we are working with everything”.
Progress in the construction of the Giga Mexico plant bodes well for Tesla, especially after Chinese suppliers hinted that the start of production of the new plant may be delayed.
Earlier this month, the Mexican daily Reforma reported that Tesla’s estimates for the start of production in giga Mexico may be delayed due to the permit process in the country.
The governor estimates that Tesla and Gigafactory Mexico suppliers can make investments of 15 billion dollars within two years of operations.
“Tesla and the suppliers alone will generate investments worth 15 billion dollars in two years,” he added. It’s a huge amount in a very short period of time”.
