Seven years after part 2, Elon Musk is about to reveal part 3 of his famous Master Plan. Indeed, this will be formalized on March 1, during Investor Day. Electric cars will not be the only topic covered by the brand, which is also working on the development of its energy storage solutions. Elon Musk heralds “the path to a fully sustainable energy future for Earth.”

It’s been seven years since Elon Musk submitted his Master Plan Part Two, a document still visible on Tesla’s website that outlines all the next steps for Tesla. The latter was then presented ten years after the first part, which announced the beginnings of the manufacturer’s development, which then planned to launch a low-volume car (the Tesla Roadster, which has just celebrated its 15th anniversary) whose proceeds would allow marketing of a more general car (the 2012 Tesla Model S). This would finance the development of an even more affordable and ambitious vehicle: the Model 3.
new projects
In 2016, the brand had achieved all these goals, while theThe compact sedan was officially unveiled on March 31. of the same year. Thus, in June, Tesla lifted the veil on its Master Plan Part Two, which announced in particular the arrival of the FSD (full self-driving) autonomous driving system, as well as the arrival of a new model that makes it possible to cover all segments. then the Model Y, which has become the best-selling electric car in Europe in a month.
Tesla has already mentioned his desire to diversify his activities by developing energy storage systems through its solar roofs for houses. He also wanted his cars to pay their owner back when not in use. To do this, the Teslas could then be converted into autonomous taxis, allowing you to make the most of the times when they would simply be parked.
Master Plan 3, the path to a fully sustainable energy future for Earth, will be unveiled on March 1.

A goal that has not yet been achieved, but that could be achieved with the arrival of the Robotaxi. The latter will be based on a new platform that it will share with the future Model 2 that could be announced on March 1, during the Investor Day organized by Elon Musk. This day, which will allow the manufacturer to communicate its progress, will also be an opportunity to reveal its plans for the future, through the third part of its Master Plan.
Information unequivocally confirmed by the leader himself in Twitterwho describes this new work as ” the path to a fully sustainable energy future for Earth“. And for good reason, if the car is to be at the center of the projects, Tesla still wants to branch out a bit more, develop their energy-related activities while the power grid is currently active.
New factories, but not only
As the site explains electricthe manufacturer had already stated that the Master Plan Part 3 would consist of “ reach a very large scale in the production of vehicles and batteries. An index that seems to confirm the presentation of the Model 2, which would exhibit a price of around 25,000 dollars thanks to the use of new 4680 cells that are less expensive to produce and offer better energy density and, therefore, greater autonomy.
Tesla could also announce construction of a new factory, since he seeks to establish himself in Mexico. The firm has already reached an agreement with the state of Nuevo León to open a site in the city of Santa Catarina, which would be operational this year. It would increase production and reduce delivery times for the brand, which was about to have a particularly difficult year, before drastically reducing the price of its electric cars.
On this occasion, Elon Musk should also talk about the development of your energy storage solutions, while Tesla today offers its Powerwalls for home use and its Powerpacks for businesses. Perhaps she will talk in more detail about her future V4 Superchargers, equipped with solar panels and capable of storing electricity that can be used in the event of a voltage on the grid.
Now we will have to wait a few more weeks to find out more about this upcoming, long-awaited Master Plan. At the moment, Tesla is working on the launch of its Cybertruck, scheduled for this summer, as well as the Roadster, which was originally slated for a 2022 release.
Apart from electric cars, what do the American Tesla and the Chinese Nio have in common? Their ability to build virtual power plants, in order to become energy providers. We explain how.
