Tesla's fourth 'Master Plan' reads like LLM-generated nonsense | TechCrunch
"Why be so vague? Maybe it's because Tesla has still not completed all of its goals from the second master plan, published all the way back in 2016, or its third, in 2023. That second plan was also about taking huge swings, but it was specific in its ambitions. First, Musk wrote that Tesla would "create a smoothly integrated and beautiful solar-roof-with-battery product that just works" and "scale that throughout the world.""
"Who knows when that will happen? But right now, unlike the preceding master plan posts, this one is gauzy, generic, and reads like someone threw talking points from Musk and the " Abundance bros " into ChatGPT and published the result. (If it was Grok, it's one of the most benign posts that AI chatbot has ever generated.) The post is stuffed with sentences that sound like a kid imitating college-level discourse,"
Tesla published a fourth Master Plan that centers on advancing humanoid robots and sustainable energy at a planetary scale. The plan articulates broad aspirations but omits concrete specifics, timelines, and measurable steps. Elon Musk acknowledged criticism of the plan's vagueness and said more details will be added later. Prior master plans included specific commitments—such as a scalable solar‑roof‑with‑battery product and vehicle ambitions—that have seen partial or limited fulfillment. Critics characterize the new plan as generic and rhetorical, raising skepticism about Tesla's capacity to complete outstanding goals from earlier plans.
