"Mexico is open to investment that allows development with well-being. We have US$40 billion committed, including in different industrial parks," highlighted the president-elect.

The virtual president-elect, Claudia Sheinbaum, commented that it is not that the opportunity for Tesla to invest in Mexico has been closed, but that we must continue working, since there is a lot of investment in Nuevo León and the country has a committed investment of around 40,000 million dollars for the second half and the first half of 2025.

“We have to continue working to promote this type of investment, there is a lot of investment in Nuevo León, and also in the future we will see what happens, it is not that the investment has been closed, it has to do with the electoral issue, we are going to wait for the result of the election in the United States,” Sheinbaum Pardo told the press this Tuesday.

Regarding Tesla CEO Elon Musk's reasons for indicating that it would make no sense to invest in Mexico if Donald Trump once again wins the elections and imposes heavy tariffs on vehicles produced in Mexico, the president-elect said:

“I have no information about the financial situation of the company. The candidate for the presidency of the United States, Donald Trump, for the way he referred to migration and in that same speech he said that the T-MEC is very good, that it should not even be negotiated; "He already said it, that he does not intend for there to be a review," said the president-elect.

On the other hand, Sheinbaum recalled that this Monday, July 29, the Secretary of Economy, Raquel Buenrostro, stated that Tesla had not initiated the procedures for the investment.

"Mexico is open to investment that allows development with well-being. We have US$40 billion committed, including in different industrial parks."

In addition, he indicated that the next Secretary of Economy, Marcelo Ebrard, will attend to the Welfare poles and different investments committed for the remainder of 2024 and the first half of 2025.
