Ilon Mask has told about the future of the Tesla Motors company
Ten years ago Tesla Roadster, the first model of the Californian brand was born. Now the founder and the chief Tesly Ilon Mask speaks: then chances of success were so low that it did not want to risk someone's means and has invested own money earned in PayPal. To begin with a small-scale electrocar which it will be obligatory expensive according to the head, was considered as "idiocy in a square". But Roadster was necessary to get financing on the following product — Model S. Earned on "eska" has allowed to create potentially the most mass and available Model 3. In parallel teslovets were engaged in solar batteries. Such is there was a plan from four points which is now on a closing stage. New strategy of Master Plan, Part Deux provided by Mask consists of the same quantity of parts.
The first section — integration of production and storage of energy. Recently Tesla has purchased SolarCity corporation. It makes house solar power stations which will be soon used for charging the teslovskikh of buffer Powerwall batteries and the stores Powerpack. "We shall break barriers, unite the companies and order products that there were one seller and the assembler, one contact of customer service, one application" — has declared Mask. The second point of the master plan — new electric cars. It is the compact crossover and the pickup truck based on Model 3 and also (surprise) the heavy truck and the bus. Two last machines still very crude, however will celebrate a premiere next year. The third part of strategy — autonomous driving.
"I want to explain why Tesla develops a partial autonomy now, but does not wait for any right moment in the future — writes Mask. — The fact that in case of the correct use of the autopilot movement becomes already much safer in comparison with the person driving is the most important reason. Therefore it would be immoral and reprehensible to shelve technology just because of fear of the press or some mercantile calculations". To reach perfection, UAVs shall knurl 10 billion km worldwide, now they pass five million kilometers a day. The last point of the plan — development of a karshering. Owners will be able to lease the electric cars or leasing, having just pressed the virtual button in a mobile application. So from private and corporate Teslas "the fleet of general machines" will be created, and owners will be able to earn additionally.
