For the next decade, Elon Musk’s plan is ambitious.

The Tesla’s CEO promised to significantly increase car production, launch several new models, and conquer unmanned cars by 2020.

Here are the goals that Tesla promised by Musk in the coming years:

1. Complete the construction of a super battery factory

Musk’s super battery plant in Nevada is key to Tesla's future growth as it is expected to help Tesla reduce its battery cost by 30%.


The plant, which covers an area of ​​about 5.5 million square feet and is fully operational in 2018, "helps simplify the use of economies of scale, innovation in manufacturing, waste reduction, and simplification by placing most manufacturing processes under the same roof for simplification." The company drastically cuts battery costs.

In fact, Tesla said that its super factory will manufacture more batteries than all of the lithium-ion battery manufacturers in 2013.

2. Production Model 3

The batteries produced at the Super Factory will enable Tesla to produce its first mass-market model, Model?.

The car is priced at about $ 35,000, and each car's cruising range can exceed 200 miles.

Tesla started production of the Model? earlier this month and plans to start shipping on company activities on Friday, July 28.

At the end of 2019 or early 2020, a compact SUV named “Model燳” was launched

In July 2016, Musk confirmed that Tesla plans to introduce a new compact SUV called “Model燳”.

However, the plan for this model was not announced until May of this year, when Musk stated at the company’s first quarter earnings conference call that the model will be launched by the end of 2019 or early 2020. He also said that the car will use a different platform than the Model?

3. Released an electric semi-trailer in September

In August of this year, Musk announced that the company is developing a Tesla two-wheeled semi-trailer, belonging to his "second part of the overall plan."

However, Musk stated in June that Tesla is working with a large truck company to design the company’s first all-electric two-wheeled semi-trailer.

Musk stated at Tesla's annual general meeting of shareholders: “We will be demonstrating a prototype that can run at the end of September, but we have already shown this product to people who will buy heavy trucks. They all expressed their love. They only I want to know how much I can buy and how long I can buy it.”

Although we are likely to see this electric semi-trailer in a few months, it is still unclear when it will be available.

4, before the end of 2019, the introduction of an electric pickup

Musk also stated in Part II of his "Master Plan" that Tesla will manufacture an electric pickup for its consumers.

In April of this year, Musk stated that Tesla will release its semi-trailer in September and will launch consumer-grade pickups in the next 18 months to 2 years, which means that it is October 2018-2019. Some time between months.

5. Increase the single charge mileage of Tesla Motors to 1000 km

According to Tesla himself, their car already had the largest mileage on the market, but Musk still said that his goal was to significantly increase the distance traveled by Tesla’s single charge.

Earlier, Model S's record was 800 kilometers (497 miles). In September 2015, Musk told the Danish news site Borsen: “This is the furthest time anyone has driven the Model. I guess we can break 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) in about one or two years, and 2017 will be fine. ”

In fact, a Model S P100D in a recent Tesla owner’s club successfully traveled 1078 kilometers after a single charge, not only breaking the record of battery life, but also creating a single charge for the first time. Mileage records exceeding 1,000 kilometers.


Musk added that by 2020, Tesla is likely to increase its car's driving distance to 1200 kilometers (745 miles) per charge.

6. Fully automatic driving by 2020

Musk’s other bold commitment to Tesla is that Tesla Motors will achieve full automatic driving by 2020.

In October of this year, Tesla started to launch its new enhanced autopilot hardware device. Musk said at the time that once the software was ready, the hardware device would be fully automated.

Although Tesla plans to drive a Tesla from Los Angeles to New York by autopilot before the end of the year to perform the demonstration, Musk said in a TED talk in April that it may be necessary to wait until 2019. The driver can take a nap behind Tesla's steering wheel.

7. Produce 500,000 cars per year by 2018 and 1 million cars per year by 2020

In 2015, Tesla’s vehicle production was slightly higher than 50,000, but Musk stated in May 2016 that the company plans to produce no less than 500,000 vehicles a year by 2018.

The data shows that Tesla delivered slightly more than 76,000 cars in 2016. Tesla has admitted that this is a radical goal, but it will not evade this challenge.

The company’s letter to investors in 2016 stated: “In the next two years, a five-fold increase in production will be a challenge and may require some additional funds, but this is our goal and we will work hard to achieve this. aims."

As if it were not enough to produce 500,000 cars a year by 2018, Musk hopes to raise it by another level, producing 1 million cars a year by 2020.


Why is Tesla so confident? This is because consumer demand for Model 3 exceeds expectations, forcing Tesla to reassess its goals. Accepting the first week of booking, the company received approximately 325,000 orders for Model3. This is undoubtedly an ambitious plan.

8. Double the number of super charging stations by 2018

With more and more Tesla cars on the road, Musk plans to build more Tesla charging facilities.

At the Model? conference in March 2016, Musk stated that the company plans to expand its super charging network. "Super charging station" refers to a charging station that can run 200 miles to Tesla in just 30 minutes.

In the event of Model 3, Mascock stated that by 2018 Tesla will double the number of super charging stations in the world from 3,600 to over 7,000.

However, Tesla said in April this year that by the end of this year, its goal is to have 10,000 super charging stations on a global scale, which means that Tesla is likely to complete its tasks ahead of schedule.

As of July this year, Tesla has increased the number of supercharged stations to more than 6,000.

9. Turn Tesla into an Energy Company

Musk not only wants Tesla to produce electric cars, but he also hopes Tesla will be able to produce energy that will drive the car.

In November last year, Tesla acquired SolarCity, a solar company founded by Musk's cousin Linden River.

Musk made it clear that his long-term vision is to make Tesla a full-service sustainable energy company.

Musk told reporters on the phone shortly after an announcement in June 2016: “Tesla has the opportunity to become a highly innovative sustainable energy company that can answer all questions from energy production to storage to transportation. ."

"We are a sustainable energy company," he added. "In a broad sense, it is consistent with it. To solve the sustainable energy problem, you need to generate electricity, storage, and electric vehicles."

In October last year, before the shareholders voted for the acquisition of Solar City, Musk demonstrated Tesla's solar roof. It consists of solar panels and is Tesla's energy production solution.

In May this year, the company began accepting orders for solar roofs, priced at approximately $21.85 per square foot.

10. Details of the Tesla Mobile Services project will be disclosed sometime this year

In July 2016, Musk stated in his "Part 2 of the Master Plan" that Tesla plans to launch a mobile service.

At the time, Musk stated that once Tesla's car was fully automated, the company would set up a project to allow owners to make money by allowing others to use their car.


Musk said: "You can add your car to Tesla's shared fleet by clicking on a button on Tesla's mobile app, allowing it to bring you revenue when you work or vacation. Sometimes you can even exceed your monthly loan or rental costs."

In October last year, Tesla stated that Tesla owners who want to make money by calling cars or carpools can only make money on their car network. More details will be disclosed this year. (Selected from:Futurism Compilation: Netease Smart Compile Platform Review: Yang Yuedong)
