I tried to figure out how significant a market Mexico can become.
Mercedes Benz sold 38k cars in Canada in 2014 and 19k units in Mexico during 2014.
So if Mexico buys at half the Canadian rate that would be about 600 Model S.
The Mexican new car market is about 1M new cars per year.
Mexico also imports roughly 800k 3-5 year old used American cars per year.
So in addition to new cars, once there are service centers and Superchargers, Mexico might import a significant amount of used Teslas. Bolstering American resale values.
