One year later, Tesla and Musk are still don’t have a good definition of ‘abundance’
On September 1, 2025, Elon Musk laid out his fourth “Master Plan” for Tesla, which was immediately criticized by some of his most ardent fans for being generic. Musk agreed and promised to add more specifics. He appears to have only made this particular claim once, though. var playerInstance_jwplayer_6abe813b51817 = jwplayer( "jwplayer_6abe813b51817" ); playerInstance_jwplayer_6abe813b51817.setup({ playlist: "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/3YkOQv1G", }); Practical details are basically nonexistent, though.
