What's Next for Tesla (TSLA) Elon Musk: 'Scaling to Extreme Size'

Elon Musk reveals what will be the main theme of Tesla’s “Master Plan Part 3”: It will be about scaling the company to “peak size.”

As we reported last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that he is working on “Master Plan Part 3”.

Parts 1 and 2 of the Master Plan were very important literature in Tesla’s history, which set out its plan to achieve its mission through a rough product roadmap and focus on technologies.

Not without stumbling blocks, Tesla has progressed through those plans fairly well, and now it’s approaching the end of “Part 2” — hence why Musk announced the upcoming release of “Part 3.”

Since the announcement, Tesla fans have been speculating about what might be included in the next part of the master plan.

Now Musk announced on Twitter this morning that the main theme will be “Scaling Tesla to Extreme Size”:

Key Tesla themes will be scaled to the extreme size, which is needed to move humanity away from fossil fuels and AI.

The fact that Musk is aiming for Tesla to achieve “peak size” isn’t entirely new, as Tesla has made public its goal of achieving an annual production capacity of about 20 million vehicles by 2030.

In comparison, the world’s largest automotive conglomerates, such as Volkswagen and Toyota, produce about 10 million cars per year.

But Musk’s new plan is likely to go into more detail about how to scale up manufacturing and supply chains at these levels, especially in the midst of extremely difficult global supply issues.

Interestingly, Musk also said that “Master Plan Part 3” will include sections about SpaceX and The Boring Company with Tesla:

But I will also include sections about SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.

Historically, master plan blog posts were about Tesla and posted on Tesla’s website. Part 1 included a mention of SolarCity, and Part 2 contained a part about the acquisition of Tesla and the integration of SolarCity, but nothing was ever clear about a separate Musk company.

This is again starting rumors about the company “X” umbrella, which will include all of Musk’s companies under one roof. It’s an idea that Musk floated around in the past, but it would be quite complicated to achieve.

The mentions of SpaceX and The Boring Company may simply be more collaborations between companies that we have seen in the past, or the mentions may even be completely unrelated to Tesla and simply about Musk’s larger plan and How do all those companies fit in?

What do you think is going to happen in Elon Musk’s Master Plan Part 3? Let us know in the comments section below.

Tesla Model Y welcomed by Kansas PD, expected to give cost savings – Elon Musk - Elon Musk

In a recent press release, the Leawood Police Department in Kansas announced that it had acquired a Tesla Model Y Long Range for its fleet. The vehicle would be used as one of the Leawood PD’s patrol cars. The Model Y has already been painted in the Leawood PD’s black and white colors. The department noted that they started looking into the idea of an all-electric patrol car last year after seeing dismal reviews of available hybrid patrol cars. Captain Kirt Yoder, the agency’s project manager, noted that Tesla Kansas had been quite helpful. “I ended up contacting about ten agencies from New York to California. Tesla-Kansas City was great. They were eager to help and answer all our questions,” he said. Apart from being a green vehicle, the Model Y is also expected to give the Leawood Police Department substantial cost savings. Over a year ago, a cost comparison already showed that the department’s Ford Explorer patrol SUV would cost about $4,500 per year to run. That was a time w...

Tesla’s mass layoffs reached the Autopilot team in San Mateo. Autopilot workers have started posting the news on LinkedIn.  People familiar with the matter told  Bloomberg  that Tesla laid off about 200 Autopilot workers from its San Mateo office.

Sen. Joe Manchin blasts EV tax credit expansion, calls for hydrogen development

West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin blasted a potential expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) tax credit on Thursday, while also calling for the development of the hydrogen sector to decarbonize the transportation industry. Manchin, who called a Biden administration proposal to broaden the EV tax credit program “ludicrous,” said the waiting period for EVs right now is already so long that there is no point to offering more money to incentivize consumers to buy a battery-powered car. “There is a waiting list for EVs right now, with the fuel prices, but they still want us to throw a $5,000, or $7,000 or $12,000 credit for us to buy electric vehicles,” said during a Thursday Senate budget hearing. Manchin added that production volumes of EVs are far away from fulfilling current demand levels, so it would be ridiculous to offer additional funding to the programs. It is evident that EVs are becoming more popular, and with automakers in nearly all situations relating to EVs still workin...
