Tesla Has a New Master Plan—It Just Doesn’t Have Any Specifics
Tesla's Master Plan Part IV aims to integrate AI and robotics to overcome resource scarcity and enhance human prosperity, with Optimus robot commercial launch targeted by early 2026.

- But Tesla still relies on car sales for revenue, so it must deliver products soon to make Master Plan Part 4's promises credible amid critics' brand damage concerns.
