Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), spoke about his plans for the next phase of Tesla’s master plan.
Musk Teases Tesla's Master Plan Part Deux, Hints at Next
Musk, through a post on X announced his plans for the future of Tesla on Friday. He revealed that the “Tesla Master Plan Part Deux” will be completed by 2026.
He also stated that Tesla Master Plan 3 was “too complex” for almost anyone to understand, adding that Master Plan 4 “will be concise.”
Musk Teases New Tesla Plan Shifting Toward Autonomy
Musk’s announcement comes after he unveiled the third part of his master plan in 2023. At the time, he had outlined his vision for transitioning the global economy to a 100% clean and renewable sustainable energy economy by 2050, with Tesla playing a pivotal role in this transition. This was revealed during Tesla’s first Investor Day event at the Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
Despite the ambitious nature of the plan, Musk has been known to not deliver on his promises. This is evident from the removal of his “Secret Master Plan” from Tesla’s website in 2024. The document, which outlined Tesla’s environmental goals and EV production strategy, had been referred to as Musk’s creation and the cornerstone of Tesla’s mission. Its removal marked a shift in Musk’s views on climate change and environmental goals.
During Tesla's Q2 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk revealed he is drafting a new Master Plan focused on transitioning the company from a "pre-autonomy" to a "post-autonomy" world, describing the shift as challenging but ultimately transformative and world-changing. “The ultimate master plan of Tesla is to create sustainable abundance for all,” stated Musk in another post in March.
