@SawyerMerritt tesla is making moves in south america, this could boost EV adoption in the region

@SawyerMerritt Viva Tesla Colombia ♥️💪 Buy American 🇺🇲 Buy Winner 🏆 Buy Tesla ♥️ Best products & services like Tesla & Starlink simply WIN 🌎💪💪💪 Way too many people don't know buying a Tesla is cheaper than buying a Corolla! Get $7500 EV incentive & Don't forget to use a Tesla referral

@SawyerMerritt Congrats @Teslalightshows 🎉🚘🚀

@SawyerMerritt I’m surprise they haven’t open in Argentina and Brazil first. Bigger auto markets

@SawyerMerritt Tesla Colombia ! 👏

@SawyerMerritt This is perfect timing. Leaving Medellín 🇨🇴 as I type this and it was disappointing to see so many BYD cars and other EVs but no Tesla’s. Great news!!

@SawyerMerritt Tesla is making a mistake by not entering Brazil, while BYD is dominating the Brazilian market, which serves as an export hub for cars to nearly all of Latin America.

@SawyerMerritt Odd place to choose. The Colombian economy isn't exactly robust, and those who could afford a Tesla most likely wouldn't buy it because there's no infrastructure for chargers.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla @TeslaCharging should open a operations in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 a country that generates over 95% of its electricity from renewable sources. Costa Rica has a decent economy, a highly educational system, and is experiencing a surge in electric vehicle adoption. Chinese cars

@SawyerMerritt Robotaxi for food delivery yes FOOD!

@SawyerMerritt Finally!!! I was about to buy a BYD but now I will wait for Tesla to start operations here. Awesome news

@SawyerMerritt Which means they will have a smaller, more affordable car to release there.... 👍

@SawyerMerritt From Medellín to the world Tesla’s Latin takeover begins.

@SawyerMerritt This is a great move for Tesla. They often see potential in markets others might miss, and building out the infrastructure will naturally follow the demand they create. Colombia could become a key market for their continued expansion in the region.

@SawyerMerritt LFG, Brazil next?

@SawyerMerritt Chile population: 19,629,588 Colombia population: 52,695,952 Although they are similar in GDP: Chile GDP (nominal): $362.24 billion Colombia GDP (nominal): $386.076 billion Chile Per capita: $17,936 Colombia Per capita: $7,327

@SawyerMerritt I hear there's already a waiting list... 😏

@SawyerMerritt Just what Colombia needs overpriced cars for people who want to feel special while sitting in the same traffic as everyone else.

@SawyerMerritt I can see a South American plant coming at some point.

@SawyerMerritt Which countries have an unofficial Tesla presence?

@SawyerMerritt When Cyprus?

@SawyerMerritt Finally!!! Guess who is gonna have a Tesla??

@SawyerMerritt Continued execution

@SawyerMerritt Imo rather than such a problematic market as CO is, it'd be wiser Uruguay (small yet institutionally solid and stable country with a huge harbor in Montevideo). From there, leverage on MERCOSUR to supply AR, BR, PY, and maybe even BO markets at once! Post-sales? Contractors.

@SawyerMerritt Come to Jamaica next please

@SawyerMerritt Cheaper car incoming?

@SawyerMerritt 🔥🔥🔥

@SawyerMerritt Awesome 🤩🚘

@SawyerMerritt Dude, Tesla in Colombia? Finally—swap mud boots for sleek rides? JK, but those Medellín jobs? *Chef’s kiss* for local + future.

@SawyerMerritt Great, Panama next!

@SawyerMerritt faster beyond my knowledge! Let’s rocket

@SawyerMerritt The drug lords love Tesla's ?

@SawyerMerritt Bogotá and Medellín now join Tesla’s expanding map. This isn’t a coincidence-it’s the inevitable spread of clean technology. What starts as job postings grows into ecosystems, what starts as presence grows into dominance. Colombia becomes the second South American country to
