They should export, or licence to fabricate, to other continents.
Imagine how great if Mexico became an auto export giant by just making one reasonable normal EV
Can we import this into the US? 👉👈
Can’t you just ask Trump to rename some diesel pickup to EV? Would be easier.
Trump branded ev… $100 says it would run on coal.

I think chicken tax is for overseas only? So maybe?
BTW, to anyone who thinks this is some sort of random joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_Tax
Can the US stop being absolute pieces of shit to the whole world?
Sorry, that would endanger patriotic US workers’ job safety. So no reasonable EVs for you.
I think this sort of project is a thing that all governments should adopt. These products set a baseline for affordability and performance, against which commercial competitors would have to compete against. This essentially creates a more ideal capitalism, without requiring direct pricing controls.
Also, the government providing baseline products is good for the important part of the economy: getting realworld stuff done. Cargo can’t move itself, and we want people to minimize the amount of energy and time spent doing everything. By freeing up time and money, people can use these resources for raising family, forming bonds, and engaging in hobbies.
Nations should work towards ensuring that all their citizens can live their best lives.
This has generally been my position forever. Have the state (goverments are just the rulers in place. The state is everybody) provide the baseline of all necesities at cost, but allow anybody to compete with these companies by having better prices or services.
Mexico knows how to do autos for most of their citizens, not just the upper-middle class like the rest of N. America.
US automakers: ban the import!
It’s communist!
It looks like, basically, a north american KEI truck?
It’s Chinese and we still don’t have a supplier. This is government propaganda on the part of Sheinbaum.
The only part that is produced here is the taillight
Whomp womp
Interesting - you have a source for that? EV’s are famously easy to produce so if Mexico can’t make their own it’s pretty bad look.
Here you go. The fact is we don’t have the capability to build this car 100% in this country. We don’t make batteries or hundreds of the other components that go into making a car, much less an electric one. At best we can assemble it here… At best.
What we have here is another promise from this government that has doubled the national debt in 7 years. And like everything else Morena touches, it will fail.
Yeah basically. That’s why it’s kinda funny they act like they designed it. I mean I’m sure they lowered the safety requirements and made some changes l changes but I’d a kei truck.
They are cool though, I’d love to have one for a second or third car for utility stuff.
Eating Ford’s lunch seven ways from Sunday
This is the way. Nicely priced and small and usefull. Viva Mexico!
I didn’t see how fast it can go. 74.5 miles(120km) and almost 1500lbs(650kg), this would handle most of my personal driving around if can do at least near 60mph(96.5km/h)
The other version of this had a top speed of 50kph (~30mph).
That’s disappointing.
Yeep. They’re cute little townrunners, but you couldn’t really use them in the US for more than that - and I think most places they’d even be required to have an SMV placard .

STATE SPONSORED PICKUP. Scary.
But at what cost?!
$10K Did you even read the headline?
Yes? It was a jab at western media.
Here’s an explanation.
Hell yeah, an electric Mexican Kei truck.
If i had to have a car, i’d probably get one like this. Small and urban but with a little extra cargo space.
Come on! 120km range… FFS I really want an electric utility vehicle, but I drive further on a slow day. I’m sick and tired if these handyman run about town EV trucks. I can’t carry a lot in the EV I’m daily driving, and I can’t afford several cars simultaneously.
But it does sound like a sweet price point.
Fun Fact: You can drive 120km on both a slow day, and a fast day.
Fun Fact: You can drive 120km on both a slow day, and a fast day.
Fun fact twoofer: people use the term “slow day” to denote days where very little happens and you know that
Fun fact: neither of you knows the meaning of the word fun
Before you ask for this in America, the answer is No. Now go outside and play.
Now go outside and play.
Did you mean, Now go inside and Work. Work harder.
I thought it was a picture of the Telo at first. Those were supposed to be out this year I thought. (I think they are supposed to be like 30k though)
That’s great to hear. I hope they do well.
