What should we expect?

Autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, robotaxis and humanoid robots: Tesla's Master Plan 4 should focus on technology above all else.

Tesla is working on its Master Plan 4 and Elon Musk made it very succinct with a message on social networks. American manufacturer's working areas.

The fact is that right now At Tesla, the production and sale of cars appears to be somewhat of a secondary activity, with the Model 2 struggling to emerge or the Roadster not coming. The brand's next big news is the revamped Model Y, the Robotaxis, which will be unveiled on August 8. At the same time, Elon Musk assured that three new products are in the works.

With Master Plan 1, Elon Musk created the Tesla we know today. He announced in 2006 “Build a sports car (first roadster); use that money to build an affordable car (Model S followed by Model X); use that money to build a more affordable car (Model 3) and produce zero-emissions.
In 2016, the manager presented Master Plan 2, and cars were no longer central to the company's operations. Here are four areas of work for this strategy: creating photovoltaic panels and integrated storage systems, expanding the electric vehicle product line to cover all major segments, developing autonomous driving capabilities that are 10 times safer than manual driving by enabling massive fleet learning and driving. Cars to earn money when not in use. From there came the Solar Roof, Powerwall, Model Y, Tesla Semi, Cybertruck and full self-driving. Some of these goals have been achieved partially or with some delay compared to the initial schedule, while others are still under development.

The range will remain unchanged for some time to come, the next-gen unboxed platform is lagging behind in its development, and various projects from FSD to Robotaxi aren't considered quite finished. Master Plan 4 seems premature given the scenario. However, it looks good in preparation.

Is Tesla looking for new investments?
