Elon Musk hints at Tesla's next North America factory. But the new plant of the electric vehicle (EV) maker might not necessarily be in the United States.
Is the tech giant considering locations like Mexico and Canada?
Elon Musk and Tesla Factory in North America
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and founder of Tesla, Musk, reportedly spoke to the workforce of his EV firm, disclosing what the future holds for the tech giant.
While the ultra-rich tech entrepreneur spoke internally to his employees, Electrek got a recording of the company-wide meeting.
The recording reportedly had Musk himself speaking about the plans and considerations of Tesla. The meeting even had a part wherein the employees of the EV maker asked the CEO a few questions.
The question and answer portion of the company-wide meeting revealed what might be the location of the future plant of the renowned automaker.
An employee went on to ask Musk where the location of the next Tesla plant in the US could be. The wealthiest man in the world responds, saying that he has yet to have a final location for the new Tesla factory.
Despite that, the tech exec hinted that the next plant is likely going beyond the US. But it should still be in the North American region.
Tesla Plant in Mexico and Canada?
The Tesla boss said that the site for the new Tesla factory is still under consideration.
Electrek says that Musk reportedly puts it this way: "We are looking at sites, but we are considering some site options more broadly in North America."
That said, it appears that the giant EV maker is still in the process of looking for its new factory location.
Although Tesla has yet to choose its new site, Musk hinted that the search might have been narrowed down already.
The Tesla founder says the next plant could likely be in other North American locations, such as Mexico and Canada. But that does not necessarily mean that the EV maker is completely removing the US from its considerations.
Canada and Mexico
According to a recent report by Tesla North, the two nations in North America, namely Canada and Mexico, is actually home to a couple of automobile factories. But the plants in these locations are more traditional ones.
On the other hand, Tesla is a disruptor in the car-making scene. The giant EV maker is known for its face-paced manufacturing, hitting record-breaking production output.
In fact, Tesla North reports that its newest plant, the Gigafactory Texas, got built swiftly. The whole construction only lasted for less than two years.
