Elon Musk hinted at the fourth part of the Tesla Masterplan during the live-streamed all-hands meeting – even though not all promises from earlier phases have been fully implemented. In his current address, Musk presented a vision that unites autonomous vehicles, humanoid robots, and sustainable energy supply.
Review of the Tesla Masterplans
About 20 years ago, it all started with a climate manifesto that introduced the idea of a low-emission Tesla Roadster. This led to the first two parts of the Masterplan, where Musk aimed to pave the way for more affordable electric vehicles with a sports car and enable emission-free power generation.

Masterplan Part 1 and 2:
The goal was to first build an exclusive sports car, leverage this success, and then offer more affordable models. Additionally, a ride-sharing network was to be established, through which vehicles could earn money even when not in use – a concept that has not yet been fully realized.
Masterplan Part 3 – Global Decarbonization
The third part focused on the global transition to renewable energies. Musk developed comprehensive strategies for decarbonizing the global economy, making it clear that Tesla offers more than just vehicles – it is about a sustainable redesign of the entire energy supply. This part was so ambitious that it later disappeared from the official website as Musk increasingly took political positions.
A Look into the Future – Masterplan Part 4
Despite the challenges of the previous phases, Musk now presents the fourth part of the Masterplan. This part is set to usher in a completely new era:
- Autonomous Vehicles: Tesla aims to develop autonomous cars that make road traffic safer.
- Autonomous Humanoid Robots: Robots that support not only in production but also in everyday life.
- Combination with Solar and Battery Storage: An integration of renewable energy that sustainably meets energy needs.
“I think the future will be incredible,” emphasized Musk, who is convinced that these visions will revolutionize the entire energy and mobility landscape in the long term.
Critical Consideration
Although Musk is convinced of the progress already achieved in the first two parts of the Master Plan, the ride-sharing concept – one of the most ambitious goals – remains unfulfilled. Experts and enthusiasts wonder how realistic the implementation of the visions, which are being postponed further into the future, truly is. Nevertheless, the announced Master Plan Part 4 shows that Tesla still has the courage to think big and actively shape change.
Conclusion
The new Master Plan Part 4 represents a future where autonomous mobility, intelligent robotics, and sustainable energy supply go hand in hand. Despite unfulfilled promises from previous years, Elon Musk remains a visionary who points the way to an innovative and environmentally friendly future – even if some goals are still far off.
