The Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan

https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-just-between-you-and-me August 2, 2006

Create a low volume car, which would necessarily be expensive
Use that money to develop a medium volume car at a lower price
Use that money to create an affordable, high volume car
Provide solar power. No kidding, this has literally been on our website for 10 years.

SolarCity panel system can be installed on your roof in an out of the way location, because of its small size, or set up as a carport and will generate about 50 miles per day of electricity.

Master Plan, Part Deux

Energy Generation and Storage

Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage

One ordering experience, one installation, one service contact, one phone app.

Cover Terrestrial Transport Forms

Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments

A future compact SUV, a new kind of pickup truck, heavy-duty trucks and high passenger-density urban transport.

Autonomy

Develop a self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual via massive fleet learning

We expect that worldwide regulatory approval will require something on the order of 10 billion km, current fleet learning is happening at just over 3 million miles (5 million km) per day.

Sharing

Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it

In cities where demand exceeds the supply of customer-owned cars, Tesla will operate its own fleet, ensuring you can always hail a ride from us no matter where you are.

Most popular jobs by state. About 8.7 million people are employed in the US trucking industry (drivers, maintenance, etc.)
