1000s of new autos in storage?

On our trip to Mazatlan for the eclipse, we were driving past the harbor and came across literally thousands of new cars in storage. No idea if they are waiting to be shipped out of the port or if they are imports. Anyone have knowledge of this?

I'd guess they were being ready to ship or be distributed. Similar in Chula Vista like this location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fxEvPNcBQycp9AdXA

I drove by a lot of vehicles like you describe between Mazatlan and the airport in December and saw thousands of sedans (OK, maybe hundreds). I was wondering the same thing......I thought maybe it was overflow for car rental places but I also thought it was too gigantic for that.

"Terminal logistica Elyon", with 26 car assembling plants in Mexico, and some close to that port, maybe your next new vehicle was parked there sometime:D

Seems like the build them faster than they can deliver them. Pretty common in the US as well
