Earlier this week, Governor Samuel Garcia Sepulveda of Nuevo León met with several Tesla executives who are overseeing the buildout of Gigafactory Mexico.

The Governor recently shared updates on the progress of Tesla Giga Mexico through Instagram. He stated that access and mobility works for Gigafactory Mexico will begin soon.

However, Gov. Sepulveda's recent updates suggest that Tesla's plans for Giga Mexico are on track. He welcomed Tesla executives into his home, including Market Director in Mexico Eugenio Grandio de la Torre, Director of Business Rohan Patel, and Logistics Manager of Tesla Daniel Calvo. The Secretary of Economy Ivan Rivas and Undersecretary of Investment Emmanuel Loo also met with the Tesla executives at the Governor's house.

The Governor estimates that Tesla and the suppliers for Gigafactory Mexico could generate $15 billion in investment within two years of operations. He emphasized the significant impact this investment would have in a short period of time.
