“I think just articulating that, and just making it clear that this is absolutely doable, and it is being done, and we just want it to be done as fast as possible.”

“Just looking at the overall problem from a global macroeconomic standpoint and saying, ‘What are all the things that are needed to achieve a fully sustainable economy.’ What tonnage of lithium, cathode, anode, separator, electrolytes, electronics - what are all the things that need to be done in order to transition to a fully sustainable global economy? Which, I think, the sooner we do that, the better for the planet. I think the biggest piece of news, though, was that he said Tesla Master Plan 3 - which he recently hinted would be coming - “is going to fundamentally be about scaling.” It’s not just about scaling car production, but about scaling the whole supply chain that feeds that electric car production as well. He referenced the fact that 10 years ago, by August 2012, they had produced fewer than 3,000 vehicles, and in just that short time, that number had risen to 3 million.Įlon joked, “It looks like one of those business plan presentation things that doesn’t actually come true, but, you know, you see it in the venture capital business plan situation. As CleanTechnica recently forecasted would happen, he also noted that Tesla produced its 3 millionth car in recent weeks. One of the first comments he made was that Tesla aimed to reach a production run rate of 2 million cars a year by the end of the year. He touched on future growth plans as well, and he mentioned the AI side of Tesla but indicated that much more on that topic was being saved for AI Day on September 30, 2022.
