MEXICO CITY (AP) – Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Tuesday that electric car company Tesla has committed to building a plant in the city of Monterrey, an industrial hub in northern Mexico.
López Obrador said the promise came in a phone call he had Monday with Tesla head Elon Musk.
López Obrador had previously ruled out the northern state of Nuevo Leon as a site for the plant because the region has suffered severe water shortages.
But he said Musk’s company had offered “a series of commitments to address the problem.”
