Tesla is heading to Mexico.

Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Tesla will build a plant in Monterrey — about 387 miles away from Tesla’s Austin, TX headquarters, and the company’s first factory south of the US border.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was reportedly touring three Mexican states in December. It was reported locally that the automaker plans an initial investment of $800 million to $1 billion.

Tesla is expected to announce the details of the new factory at its Investor Day event tomorrow.

“Get up there, Cybertruck!”

Here’s a video of the long-delayed Tesla Cybertruck “off-roading” over some bushes in front of Tesla’s new engineering HQ in Palo Alto. Check out that giant windshield wiper! (For more on the Cybertruck’s wiper woes, click here.)

Meet the couple that built an EV rock crawler for King of the Hammers

Electrified powertrains are not favored by many fans of rock-crawling, off-roading events like California’s King of the Hammers. But Keith and Melissa Silva pushed themselves and their rig to the limit at this year’s Every Man Challenge.

There are real people behind this Tesla FSD recall.

Like this person from Jenner, California, who said their Tesla vehicle “made very unexpected and wrong turn sharply to the right” while using the Full Self-Driving system. The vehicle gave them no time to respond, and it’s a miracle they weren’t seriously injured. Just something to keep in mind as the Tesla defenders leap into action in response to this latest recall.

[Cue theme from Succession.]

Ross Gerber, a Tesla investor and, as of a late, a critic of Elon Musk’s management, is gearing up to run for a board seat at the EV maker, according to Bloomberg. You might remember Gerber as the guy who thinks Musk is “over his skis” after acquiring Twitter and pretty much running it into the ground.

“I think it is crucially important to take criticism and this is something that I have realized over the years with Elon, you know, he’s very thin skinned,” Gerber said. “I’ve kind of had enough.”

Does Gerber have the votes, though? He says he has the support of another big Tesla investor Leo KoGuan, so this could be interesting. Pop some popcorn, bust out the Tesla tequila (or don’t), and let’s watch this unfold. I’m sure it will go great.
