Nuevo León, specifically Monterrey, México. It's basically like Texas, and they are aamof very close to actual Texas. They have this hyperindustrialist mindset. The state wanted BAD to be the place that hosts the next Tesla manufacturing plant, even when they struggle periodically for water.

EDIT: And they got their Tesla business.
