Tesla today officially published its long-awaited Master Plan Part 4, calling it a blueprint for delivering “sustainable abundance.” The new roadmap emphasizes bringing artificial intelligence into the physical world and unifying Tesla’s hardware and software at scale to accelerate global prosperity.

“Humans are toolmakers. At Tesla, we make physical products at scale and at a low cost with the goal of making life better for everyone,” the company wrote in the introduction. The plan describes how Tesla’s innovations across electric vehicles, clean energy, and robotics are laying the foundation for a “technological renaissance” that can eliminate scarcity.

The guiding principles outlined include growth without limits, innovation that removes constraints, and technology focused on solving tangible problems. Tesla points to its advances in affordable EV batteries, solar energy, large-scale storage, and autonomous driving as examples of how innovation can expand opportunities while reducing pollution.

The company also highlights the role of Optimus, its humanoid robot, as a way to redefine labor by taking on dangerous or repetitive jobs, giving people back more time to focus on what they enjoy. At the same time, Tesla stresses that autonomy must benefit all of humanity and that greater access to technology drives greater growth.

Musk said last week that Master Plan Part Deux, originally published in 2016, “will be complete next year.” He added that 2023’s Master Plan Part 3 was “too complex for almost anyone to understand,” but promised Part 4 would be concise.

Tesla frames the plan as the next leap forward, beyond cars and batteries, toward reshaping the very building blocks of mobility, energy, and labor. Or as the company put it: “This is sustainable abundance.”
