Elon Musk revealed Part 2 of his master product plan for Tesla on Wednesday evening.
In a blog post published on Tesla's website, Musk introduced a multi-year, four-pronged strategy that includes new kinds of Tesla vehicles, expanded solar initiatives, updates on Teslas Autopilot technology and a ride-sharing program.
