Here’s how to watch and what to anticipate for Tesla Investor Day

We’re approaching Tesla Investor Day, a time when investors and super fans travel to the company’s Gigafactory Texas, which is close to Austin, while the rest of us watch via live stream on YouTube or Twitter to find out exactly what CEO Elon Musk has in store for the future.
Tesla Investor Day is set to start at 4 p.m. ET, or 3 p.m. CT for those in Austin. History suggests that Musk won’t take the stage at the top of the hour. Nevertheless, you never know.
Musk said earlier this year in a tweet that he would reveal the much-anticipated and often-teased Master Plan 3 at the company’s investor day, which will be held at the Gigafactory Texas facility near Austin.According to the company, attendees will be able to view its production line and talk with its leadership team on issues such as the company’s long-term expansion plans, generation 3 platform, and capital allocation.
Most people who couldn’t attend in person can watch Tesla Investor Day (also known as the Master Plan 3 reveal) through the company’s Twitter account or YouTube channel.
What is Musk going to say? Got your bingo cards ready?
In his Master Plan 3 hints from last March, Musk made vague promises to expand Tesla operations to an “extremely large” level.He also touched on issues like AI and said that his other businesses, SpaceX and The Boring Company, would be a part of this next phase of the plan. Later in the year, Musk revealed more details about Master Plan Part Three.The purpose of the strategy, according to a company-wide meeting, is to “get to enough scale to actually transform the entire energy infrastructure of Earth.”
Musk will probably talk about his intentions to construct a new factory in Mexico, which the country’s president publicly announced yesterday. While showing off a prototype of a new EV is like catnip for investors, Musk may also make hints about or perhaps demonstrate a new EV.
The Cybertruck, the robot (remember that one? ) and the plans for the branded “Full Self Driving” software beta that was recently pulled after federal safety regulators warned the technology could allow vehicles to perform unsafely are examples of previous items on which we’d like updates. Since then, Tesla has decided to hold off on delivering any additional FSD installations to consumers until it releases a software update that resolves the issue.
Who the hell is Master Plan 3, for those who are wondering? Exists Master Plan 1? Indeed, I do.
In 2006, Musk published a blog entry on Tesla’s website explaining what he referred to as the “master plan.” The first step in the four-step plan was to produce a high-priced, low-volume vehicle before utilizing the proceeds to create a medium-volume, lower-priced vehicle. An affordable, high-volume car would be produced with the money made from the medium-volume vehicle. The plan concluded with the phrase “supply solar power.”
The grand plan didn’t quite go as expected, as many people have pointed out. Tesla did not utilize its profits to finance the Model 3 since at the time it was not lucrative, and its high-volume vehicle is not an affordable option. But Tesla did create the Roadster, followed by the Model S and X (the medium-volume vehicles), and eventually the Model 3, which, despite having a price tag of more than $40,000, has proven to be a successful high-volume model.
Part two, or Part Deux, was announced in 2016 with the goal to “build beautiful solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage,” expand Tesla’s EV product line to cover all key markets, and make self-driving technology that is ten times safer than traditional driving.The plan also claimed that owners would be able to use ridesharing to take advantage of self-driving technology and profit from their vehicles when they are not in use.
Many of the tasks listed in that Part 2 to-do list have not been performed by Tesla. The Cybertruck, which is probably part of the plan to expand the EV product line, has not yet been released, and there are no driverless Teslas roaming the streets on their way to pick up passengers.
Perhaps Master Plan 3 will commit to completing all of Tesla’s unfinished business.
