Tesla has purchased 1,194 hectares across four properties in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, for $98.7 million. The investment reflects Tesla’s strategy to enhance its manufacturing capabilities, with potential ties to its ambitious Cybercab production goals.
Tesla's $100 Million Land Purchase in Nuevo Leon
Some 1,194 ha spread across four parcels in Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon, were reportedly purchased by Tesla for almost $100 million, according to a recent report.
According to a Milenio report, the properties were bought by Ecological Project Mario, an LLC with Variable Capital. The manager and partner of the company was Eugenio Grandio de la Torre, a former official of Tesla.
Breakdown of Giga Mexico Property Costs
The four Giga Mexico properties cost Tesla a total of approximately $98.7 million. The land parcels and their prices:
- Plot 1: $44,906,243 for 544 hectares.
- Plot 2: $53,210,703 for 644 hectares.
- Plot 3: $576,024 for 6 hectares.
- Plot 4: $13,002 for 0.15 hectares.
The real estate was purchased from the granddaughters of Lázaro Garza González, the former governor, and is situated at Rancho El Carvajal.
Legal Details of the Land Acquisition
Notaries and registrars in the area completed the required legal procedures, and the transaction was formally recorded on March 9, 2023. Armour Secure Insurance, which is backed by Lloyd's, facilitated the transaction.
The purchase of the lands is a significant investment for Tesla, even while Giga Mexico is on hold. It further emphasizes the company's plans to increase its production capacity.
Tesla's Plans for Affordable Vehicle Production
It was originally stated that Giga Mexico would be the location where Tesla would manufacture its affordable vehicles, Teslarati points out.
The Cybercab, an automated robotaxi introduced during October's We, Robot event, is the most affordable car that Tesla has introduced thus far.
On the other hand, it is anticipated that Cybercab will undergo its first factory production in Giga, Texas, sometime during the second half of the year 2025.
However, Elon Musk mentioned in the Q3 2024 earnings call that Tesla aims to produce 2 million Cybercabs per year and possibly even 4 million. A separate factory for the Cybercab might be necessary to handle such quantities.
