Debating about safety traveling from Austin to Monterrey and back in M3P in early Dec. How does the safety profile look like these days? Drug cartel activity a concern en route? We would be traveling during the day.Monterey Mexico is open now
I have not heard of ANYONE driving their Model 3 from McAllen to Monterrey (2.0 hour drive +/-) From Austin you'd be looking in the 7 hours range to drive. A quick Google search shows a 1:15 hr nonstop flight on Viva Aerobus from San Antonio to Monterrey. I would expect you could arrange for airport pickup and straight to hotel or destination.Debating about safety traveling from Austin to Monterrey and back in M3P in early Dec.

Alternatively, we would fly into airport. If so, Is profiling a concern?
We would drive to San Antonio for direct flight to Monterrey. Twist is there are no direct flights back only connector via Mexico City.I have not heard of ANYONE driving their Model 3 from McAllen to Monterrey (2.0 hour drive +/-) From Austin you'd be looking in the 7 hours range to drive.

Taking that route, I would think that your "safely travelling" odds go up significantly.
Used to do Corpus > Monterrey > Corpus on the weekends a decade ago (damn that sounds harsh) mostly thru Reynosa/Pharr. Could do it in my then 2009 Hybrid Civic in about 5.5 hrs and not have to refuel until I was back at McAllen lolI have not heard of ANYONE driving their Model 3 from McAllen to Monterrey (2.0 hour drive +/-) From Austin you'd be looking in the 7 hours range to drive.

Sorry, wrong thread. Meant for supercharger competition
I liked it!Sorry, wrong thread. Meant for supercharger competition
I have asked this question before but would be curious on everyone’s opinion on whether Tesla will be building a solid supercharger corridor between the US west to Mexico City and puerta Vallarta. Eg. A reliable supercharger every 200 kilometres or so. To date there seems very little interest in these corridors.
Thoughts?
Thanks for the reply. I get that.I don’t think anyone here will be able to answer that. If there really was a Tesla employee in the know sharing that information here I’m sure Tesla would crack down in a heartbeat. Tesla is known for going after employees sharing too much or going rogue.

Good morning.What would this route generally follow if you were to sketch it out?
It probably wouldn’t take a huge amount of sites to do it: Hermosillo, C. Obregón, Los Mochis, and Culiacán.Good morning.
Cross at Nogales and then take 15 down.
Yah. It splits once you get closer to maz so it would probably take closer to a dozen sites.It probably wouldn’t take a huge amount of sites to do it: Hermosillo, C. Obregón, Los Mochis, and Culiacán.
I asked before but will reask now. How safe is it to drive San Antonio to Monterrey in daytime these days?From as best as I can understand, Mexico pays only lip service to anything related to electrification of transportation. Mexico is a petroleum producing nation and its governments have historically promoted use of petroleum both domestically and for export.
Almost all BEVs that are made here are exported. There are no incentives for purchasing electric vehicles. There are no incentives for installing charging infrastructure. Electricity prices are high.
Imagine the “built in” network for charging. There could be charging stations at every toll station on the extensive toll highway system. Then it would require only “fill in” charging stations on secondary routes such as Highway 200 between Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco.
I would love to own a Tesla here in Mexico, but it is impractical. I wouldn’t even be able to drive from my home in the Zihuatanejo area to the nearest Tesla service centre in Morelia.
