Tesla names new CEO in Mexico
Tesla Breaks Ground on Second Gigafactory in Mexico
Tesla has announced the commencement of construction on its second Gigafactory, located near the Monterrey-Saltillo highway in Nuevo León, Mexico. The factory, known as Giga Mexico, is set to become a future production site for Tesla's next-generation electric vehicles (EVs), following the initial production and process refinement at Giga Austin in Texas.
The local government is actively preparing the surrounding infrastructure to accommodate a significant increase in traffic and supplier facilities expected to cluster near the factory. This investment is expected to boost the region's economy and create thousands of jobs.
In a recent development, Teresa Gutiérrez has been appointed as CEO of Tesla in Mexico. Gutiérrez, who previously held the position of CEO of Rappi in Mexico, expressed her enthusiasm about contributing to Tesla's mission of creating a greener Latin America. However, no press release regarding her appointment has been published yet.
It is worth noting that Gutiérrez's role within Tesla's operations in Mexico, or her involvement with the Giga Mexico project, has not been publicly confirmed based on the available resources.
Françoise Lavertu, who was previously in charge of Tesla in Mexico since 2015, recently resigned from her position. The exact date of her resignation is not specified, and it is unclear if she has been replaced.
Martha Delgado, undersecretary for multilateral affairs and human rights at Mexico's foreign affairs ministry, stated in a radio interview that the new plant is expected to produce about 1 million EVs each year. These vehicles will cater to both the Mexican market and for export to countries in Latin America and Europe.
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced last March that Tesla will build a factory in the city of Santa Catarina, in the state of Nuevo León, near the border with the US. The project is expected to invest $5 billion in an initial phase to build its electric vehicle plant in Mexico.
Teresa Gutiérrez, a passionate advocate for innovation, social impact, and digital transformation, aims to leverage her expertise to drive Tesla's growth in Mexico and contribute to a greener future for Latin America.
