Pure flour-power. Hearty enough to carry you through lunch.
Summary
Tesla's fourth Master Plan represents a significant shift in focus from electric vehicles and renewable energy to artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, self-driving cars, and the concept of 'sustainable abundance.' The 983-word document is the shortest in Tesla's mission statement series and is criticized for being long on AI buzzwords but short on concrete goals and details, signaling the company's apparent boredom with its core EV business.
