Part one (2006)[edit]
On August 2, 2006, it appeared as it appeared on the company website. Stated in the opening sentence:
The overarching purpose of Tesla Motors (and the reason I am funding the company) is to help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy, which I believe to be the primary, but not exclusive, sustainable solution.
Summarized thus:
Landfill-safe batteries[edit]

Part deux (2016)[edit]
The plan was updated in 2016.[6]
"By definition, we must at some point achieve a sustainable energy economy or we will run out of fossil fuels to burn and civilization will collapse."[7]
Bloomberg observes in July 2022 that although Tesla has become the world's most valuable car company, by a wide margin, since the plan was released, the company has fallen short or completely missed its original four goals.[8]

Part three (2023)[edit]
Was announced in March 2022.[9] In a company meeting in June 2022, Musk summarized:
That’s what Master Plan Part 3 is: How do you get to enough scale to actually shift the entire energy infrastructure of earth?[10]
Revealed at his annual investor day on March 1. Musk said: “There is a clear path to a sustainable-energy Earth. It doesn’t require destroying natural habitats. It doesn’t require us to be austere and stop using electricity and be in the cold or anything.” He added, “In fact, you could support a civilization much bigger than Earth, much more than the 8 billion humans could actually be supported sustainably on Earth.”[11]
