Recently, the Governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García Sepúlveda, made an announcement about the construction of Tesla Gigafactory Mexico. According to the Governor, the factory will take around 12 to 15 months to build, which is longer than it took Tesla to build its Giga Shanghai facility in China.

So, what’s the reason behind the extended construction period? Well, it turns out that Tesla is working on a whole new production line for its upcoming $25k compact car. This economic model is expected to be sold massively, and Tesla needs a dedicated production line to meet the demand.

The Governor explained that the production line is currently in the workshop, working on rendering and starting the construction process. Given the large space that it will occupy, the construction of this new production line is estimated to take around 12 to 15 months.

But why Mexico? Tesla plans to produce one of its next-generation vehicles in Mexico, and the Governor hopes that the Gigafactory will turn Santa Catarina into a sustainable techno hub, attracting investments from neighboring cities and states.

The compact electric vehicle that Tesla plans to produce is expected to have a competitive price tag between $25,000 to $30,000. Tesla has revealed the compact vehicle’s battery pack size and estimated production/delivery volumes in its Master Plan, Part 3 report.
