Tesla’s latest “master plan” excludes some things from the gate: the company that was once known to push towards a bright future by making electric vehicles and renewable energy popular, now not interested in that Kwidian goods. Now, it is all about all artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, self-driving cars and new buffalo catchfrays that are currently illuminating the technical world: “sustainable abundance.”
In 983 terms, a Breezy, the Master Plan 4 is the smallest entry in the ongoing series of the company’s mission statement. Its First to be posted on XInstead of Elon Musk’s social media platform, Tesla’s website. And it reads that it was written by the platform’s chatbot, Grocke, with the EM dash about the future of AI and robotics and a suspected utopian tone with frequent use of utopian tone.
But is this really AI? It rarely matters, because the substance of the master plan is so vague, so empty, and so devoid of solid proposals that it barely puts a shadow.
Creating technically advanced products that are inexpensive and available on scale require to build a flourish and unrestricted society. It works to advance the society by increasing the quality of life of everyone in the process. The identity of meritocracy is creating opportunities that enable each person to use their skills that they imagine.
Compare the first master plan published in 2006, which outlined the company’s desire to create electric sports cars, then gradually use the revenue generated for the manufacture of more affordable electric vehicles. Or the Master Plan 2, published in 2016, which asks to manufacture electric semi trucks and buses, develops self-driving vehicles, and then allows customers to use vehicles as profit-generating robotaxis. Or the master plan was published in 3, 2023, which deployed Tesla to lead a global effort to eliminate fossil fuels and convert the world into permanent energy.
This is big, intoxicating accessories! Certainly, Tesla has barely touched the targets listed in the second master plan, but at least they were targets in traditional meanings. This is the latest recurrence pure pure. It floats on its own present.
To be fair, a lot has happened between the third master plan and today. Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X. He established JE that developed a liberal AI device to compete in the global race. He launched Cybetrack, which later flopped. He put $ 300 million in the election of Donald Trump and then oversee billions of dollars from the federal government in the name of “proficiency”.
Tesla’s brand was damaging. The company’s sales are in a decline in all major markets around the world, thanks to the increasing competition and political affiliation of Musk. Tesla’s efforts to recover some of that old magic with robots and robotaxis have been largely unsuccessful. This new scheme is the latest attempt to re -awaken any kind of vision.
This is the latest recurrence pure pure. It floats on its own present.
If you are confused about what Tesla is promising, you are not alone. X users commented that the plan “reads more like a great ted talk than a gant chart with deadline and KPI.” Instead, we talk philosophical about “infinite growth, AI solution deficiency, and robot freeing their time.” The previous master plans were also visionary documents, but instead of the unaccounted platitude and buzzword salad, with the emphasis on deliverable products and action items.
To ensure this, Elon Musk regrets some things involved in previous plans. In a recent post on X, he admitted that the second plan is incomplete, but promises that it will be completed by “next year”. The master plan 3 “was very complex to understand almost anyone,” he said, described the fourth plan as “brief”.
Focusing on “permanent abundance”. We are listening to a lot about abundance these days, mostly from the book of Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, which outlines a plan for more housing, more clean energy and greater prosperity – as obtained through deragulation and high productivity. There is also a lot of institute, a think tank focuses on innovation and prosperity with heavy attention to the AI policy.
But the idea of ”abundance” has gained the velocity of escape since then and is now a umbrella word for Liberterian and Centrist Democrats that are calling universal healthcare and high taxes on rich to push back against leftist and democratic socialists.
For me, the word that tells more in Master Plan 4 is “infinite”. The document declares that “development is infinite,” suggests that traditional barriers such as labor, real estate, finance, or natural resources should not stand up in the way of the trajectory upwards of Tesla.
It is one of Musk’s favorite rhetoric tools. He has described the demand of customers in Tesla’s vehicles as “infinite”. The ropes capacity of cybercrook is also “infinite”. (It is actually rated for 11,000 pounds, which I have last checked, a long way from Anant.)
What really is – to borrow another phrase from Tesla Playbook – Ludicrass. The company’s self-driving cars do not really run themselves, solar roofs are on the back burner, the mythical $ 25,000 “model 2” has been canceled, and your Tesla will not earn money when you sleep. Its robots cannot even work on a bucket of popcorn without some heavy human participation.
Musk is high on its supply, and this latest master plan is proof of this.
