Most spanish speaking people either say "Teh Cot Ay" or "Teh Cot Ee". I generally say "Teh Cot Ay"......how to spell it in spanish(this might help some(just how the spanish letters are pronounced)) Tay(T) Ay(E) Say(C) Ah(A) Tay(T) Ay(E).
This brings up a question from me, why in the name of Bob would a Japanese ATV company name an ATV after a spanish word???????????????

Tecate,tehcotti,tehkatie,I've heard them all.
I was told the tecate got its name from the tecate desert. Back in the 80's and even today,Manufactures were building bikes,trikes to sell to America,so why not just name the machines after something in america. ex, mojave,bayou,prairie,rubicon,rincon,rancher,kodiak ,grizzly,bigbear,wolverine,badger.None of these places/animals are in Japan. Honda,Kawi,Suzuki,and Yamaha all have factories in california,,,,since the mid to late 80's.
