Tesla’s plans for a major new factory in Mexico may be pushed back to 2026 or 2027. A Chinese supplier revealed that they and several other Chinese companies may delay their operations near the future Tesla factory in Nuevo Leon due to the automaker’s slower-than-expected timeline.
Several sources had previously indicated that Tesla aimed to begin production in Mexico by 2025. However, Tesla has not officially announced a construction or production start date for the facility. Some estimates suggest construction might not begin until 2027.
This delay, if confirmed, could impact Tesla’s plans for expanding its production capacity and reaching new markets, particularly in Latin America. Mexico is seen as a strategic location for the company to serve both the local market and export to other countries in the region.
Tesla has not commented on the report or provided any updates on its Mexico factory plans. It remains to be seen how this potential delay might affect the company’s overall production and delivery targets in the coming years.

U.S. targets Chinese ships with new maritime tariffs in trade war escalation
The United States is set to impose hefty fees on large Chinese ships calling at its ports, escalating the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. These charges, part of a broader strategy to reinvigorate the U.S. maritime industry and push back against China’s dominance in global shipping, will impact a substantial share of the merchant fleet that carries over 80% of global trade.
While a range of exemptions gives operators some flexibility, the industry is expected to adapt by rerouting ships and altering ownership structures to limit exposure. The new charges, outlined by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), apply in two ways depending on a ship’s connection to China.
