Am I missing something here? This seems to be a white paper with a vision of a global energy future. But it is not what I'd call a plan in any usual sense of that term, especially not a plan for one of the many companies that would be working to fulfill the vision.
- fwlr 4y agoIt is certainly a departure from the previous master plans, which were informal blog posts by Elon describing Tesla’s future plans. Maybe this is the formal groundwork for another such informal blog post, and it just happens to share the same title. Or maybe “informal blog post” was the effective medium for Tesla’s previous target audience (consumers) and “formal whitepaper” is the effective medium for a different target audience (government policy-makers?) and this indicates a change or expansion in Tesla’s target audience. I know that the US is putting out a “total electrification via renewable power” vision, perhaps this is Tesla positioning itself to be a critical supplier of that vision.

Close - this is the detailed background behind the plan as presented a month ago. From the executive summary (page 2): > On March 1, 2023, Tesla presented Master Plan Part 3 – a proposed path to reach a sustainable global energy economy through end-use electrification and sustainable electricity generation and storage. This paper outlines the assumptions, sources and calculations behind that proposal. Input and conversation are welcome.
