Elon Musk has announced that he is actively working on ‘Tesla Master Plan Part 4’, marking the latest installment in a series that has significantly shaped Tesla’s trajectory.
The announcement was made through a post on Musk’s social media platform X, where he described the upcoming plan as “epic,” without providing further details on what it might include.

Tesla’s Master Plans have been instrumental in outlining the company’s strategic direction. The first plan, published in 2006, laid the groundwork for Tesla’s mission with a straightforward but ambitious roadmap: build a sports car, use the profits to build an affordable car, use those profits to build an even more affordable car, and while doing all of the above, provide zero-emission electric power generation options.
This plan led to the creation of the Tesla Roadster, Model S, and Model 3.
Then came ‘Tesla Master Plan Part 2’ in 2016, which expanded upon the original goals. This plan emphasized the integration of energy storage solutions with renewable energy generation, marking the birth of the growing Tesla Energy division. It also laid out plans for the development of self-driving capabilities and the expansion of Tesla’s vehicle lineup to include a compact SUV (Model Y), a pickup truck (Cybertruck), and a heavy-duty truck (Tesla Semi), all of which have come to fruition.
One part of that plan that has yet to become a reality is the concept of vehicles generating income for their owners when not in use through autonomous driving. This may change soon however with the unveiling of the robotaxi, scheduled for August 8.
Last year, Musk presented ‘Tesla Master Plan Part 3’, which took a broader approach compared to its predecessors. Rather than focusing on specific product roadmaps, the plan aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of transitioning the world to a sustainable energy economy. It detailed the necessary steps to achieve large-scale electrification and renewable energy adoption, emphasizing the global impact of Tesla’s technologies.
This included scaling up electric vehicle production, enhancing energy storage solutions, and integrating renewable energy into the grid.
While specific details about ‘Tesla Master Plan Part 4′ remain under wraps, Musk’s description of the plan as “epic” hints at ambitious goals and significant innovations. Given the previous plans’ focus on expanding product lines, integrating renewable energy, and advancing autonomous driving, it is expected that the new plan will continue to push the boundaries of technology and sustainability.
