Tesla Looking To Build Up Local Suppliers In Mexico As Much As Possible
. The statement was made at a panel discussion in Playa del Carmen, hosted by the stock exchange Bolsa Mexicana de Valores.
“There are a lot of possibilities where some older suppliers that used to make components for combustion cars will transition to electric,” Grandio said during the panel. “There’s gonna be a lot of possibilities for companies from all over the world coming to Mexico, joining us, and creating also talent that could innovate internally to help us continue growing.”
Grandio started with Tesla in 2016, originally working to help deploy Superchargers. He says he jumped at the opportunity to work with the U.S. electric vehicle manufacturer after working for BMW for years. The move to work with locals piggybacks on Tesla’s already robust supplier network in Mexico, which Grandio explains included around 130 businesses already near the beginning of the pandemic.

Tesla technology inches closer to becoming industry standard as Rivian joins its charging networkElectric vehicle maker Rivian says it will follow General Motors and Ford and join Tesla’s charging network starting next year. The startup truck, SUV and delivery van maker says Tuesday that it will include ports with Tesla’s connector on future Rivian vehicles starting in 2025. It also will offer an adapter for owners of current Rivian EVs. The move is another domino to fall as the auto industry considers switching to Tesla’s connector, which it calls the North American Charging Standard. At present, nearly all automakers other than Tesla use what is called a CCS connector. Tesla has more direct current fast-charging plugs in the U.S. than any other network, and its stations are in prime locations along freeway travel corridors.
