Elon Musk doesn’t want to leave Mexico at all. A few days ago, he revealed the plans he has for the country, despite not taking into account the plans of the gigantic factory Tesla – we still have business opportunities. Since the Tesla plant was announced, hopes grew because it was a great source of work and technology. The Giant Factory in Nuevo León was planned with an investment of 5 billion dollars.
But the story is another. The political challenges and strategic agreements have caused this dream to stay alone in words. The threat of imposition of tariffs of up to 25% of the United States on the export of Mexico, have been a key factor. Musk has made his position and support for President Trump, more now that it is part of your government. Therefore, there is no possibility that Tesla is in Mexico at least while the White House remains in command of Trump.
It is a blow to Nuevo León, since the aspirations of being a leader in the production of electric cars has vanished. In addition, it represents a disagreement between the two countries. But Mexico, given this refusal to produce electric cars, has come to battle with its own electric car Olinia. However, Musk has other plans for Mexico.
Will Tesla arrive in Mexico? This is what Musk thinks
Although the great wait was for Tesla’s gigafactoria in Nuevo León, the plans changed. Now, Musk surprises with a different approach, which is to reinforce the country’s digital infrastructure. As? Through Starlink Mini. It is a Satellite Internet Service thought of the most remote areas. Those regions where wiring does not reach or any other Internet system, Starlink Mini will cover it with high speed. Its greatest benefit, in addition to providing great speed, is that it is a portable device, so you do not need a large installation.
The kit includes a compact router that covers up to 112 square meters, designed for basic applications and that, thanks to its self-destitute antenna, automatically connects with Starlink satellites, without the need for complex adjustments. His price is $4,999 pesos including the router, cables, a support foot and an energy source of 15.2 meters in length. Likewise, its low consumption design makes it ideal for fixed and mobile use, allowing users to connect in just minutes.
A reinforcement in avant-garde technology arrives in Mexico
Despite the problems with the Tesla factory and the decision not to build it, there are hope hopes for the country. At least Musk is not entirely denied to carry its companies (or a part) to take advantage of the market. Recently, it was announced that Tesla will take the most futuristic electric car to Mexico and now with the inclusion of Starlink Mini, it seems that there are agreements or convenience by the millionaire.
A few weeks ago, there was a controversy between Mexican government statements and Elon Musk’s X response. However, it seems that everything was in the past. The objective of both is to keep business agreements for the benefit of the population. With the new portable internet, the optimistic vision of closing the digital gap for surrounding areas, is already a reality. It is a service that will strengthen connectivity in the country, although Musk’s automotive bet remains in an undefined pause and without intentions to reactivate it, which there are commercial agreements with the giant Starlink is positive for the country and users.
The panorama does not look so bad after all for Mexico
It seems that Musk is not giving up on Mexico entirely. Instead, he’s shifting his focus to other areas, like digital infrastructure. The Starlink Mini is a significant development, and its potential to bring high-speed internet to remote areas is substantial. As the country looks to bridge the digital divide, this technology could be a game-changer. While the Tesla factory may not be happening, at least not anytime soon, Musk’s commitment to Mexico is still evident. The question is, what’s next for this unlikely partnership? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s clear that Musk is keeping his options open, and Mexico is still very much on his radar.
