Tesla will soon expand to Colombia, becoming its second South American market after having arrived in Chile early last year.
The information was first shared by Tesla enthusiast and shareholder Sawyer Merritt this Tuesday
Tesla has opened on LinkedIn several positions based in Bogota and Medellin, mainly for sales-oriented roles.
The company is seeking Sales, Service, and Delivery Advisors, as well as an Associate Sales Manager.
In addition, Tesla is also hiring Service Technicians.
According to the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), “Colombia stood out with nearly a fourfold increase in BEV (battery electric vehicles) sales” in the first quarter of 2025.
The organization noted that, as of December 2024, Chile had 9.2 EV public charging stations per 100 vehicles, while Colombia had 1.9.
In America, Tesla is currently present in the US — its domestic market —, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Chile.
It has expanded to the Chilean market in early 2024, with the first store opening in Santiago, the country’s capital.
There, the EV maker sells both its Model 3 and Model Y.
The company’s sedan is priced from 39,900,000 Chilean pesos, equivalent to $41,700, while the best-selling SUV starts from 43,900,000 pesos (about $45,950).
For comparison, in Mexico the Model 3’s prices begin at 799,000 Mexican pesos ($43,550) and the Model Y is priced from 859,000 pesos ($46,850).
Its flagship models, the Model X and Model S, are also available to order.
Many US automakers rely on local production in Mexico, however, Tesla ships its vehicles from the United States.
The Model 3 is priced from $34,990 and the Model Y starts at $44,990 in its domestic market — if excluding the EV tax credit, which removes $7,500 from the final price, which will end on September 30.
On Monday, as Piper Sandler increased Tesla‘s price target from $400 to $500, the EV maker’s shares reached a new nine-month high in early trading.
The EV maker’s shares closed 1.9% higher at $434.
The stock has rebounded from heavy first-half losses and sits within 10% of its late-2024 record high of $488.54.
