马斯克发布《特斯拉规划2.0》：将推太阳能动力汽车

特斯拉CEO马斯克此前在推特上发文，称即将推出特斯拉规划2.0，就在刚刚，IT之家获悉特斯拉规划2.0已经发布，本文为其内容节选。特斯拉未来的规划主要分为四个方面

　　太阳能动力汽车

　　特斯拉将开发集成太阳能发电装置的车顶，该公司不仅仅要做到太阳能技术的集成，同时又要兼具美感。此外，马斯克暗示太阳能发电汽车将会拥有手机应用与之匹配，将用户与汽车完美融合。

　　加速特斯拉产品线建设

　　马斯克指出，特斯拉将覆盖绝大部分消费级市场，从低端到高端都将有相应的Model汽车产品推出。同时他也指出，“比Model3价格更低的汽车很有可能并无必要”，这意味着Model3将成为特斯拉最低端的产品系列，此外，马斯克称正在加速产能潘爬坡来满足未来的用户需求。

　　完善自动驾驶系统

　　马斯克在博客中解释了为何现在的自动驾驶系统被称为Beta版本，并宣布，未来的特斯拉自动驾驶系统将实现比人类驾驶高十倍的安全性。

　　汽车分享

　　特斯拉未来将推出汽车分享功能，用户可以在自己的特斯拉汽车闲置时通过官方App有偿租赁给其他用户，以此获取收入。

　　Master Plan, Part Deux

　　Elon Musk July 20, 2016

　　The first master plan that I wrote 10 years ago is now in the final stages of completion. It wasn't all that complicated and basically consisted of:

　　Create a low volume car, which would necessarily be expensive

　　Use that money to develop a medium volume car at a lower price

　　Use that money to create an affordable, high volume car

　　And...

　　Provide solar power. No kidding, this has literally been on our website for 10 years.

　　The reason we had to start off with step 1 was that it was all I could afford to do with what I made from PayPal. I thought our chances of success were so low that I didn't want to risk anyone's funds in the beginning but my own. The list of successful car company startups is short. As of 2016, the number of American car companies that haven't gone bankrupt is a grand total of two: Ford and Tesla. Starting a car company is idiotic and an electric car company is idiocy squared.

　　Also, a low volume car means a much smaller, simpler factory, albeit with most things done by hand. Without economies of scale, anything we built would be expensive, whether it was an economy sedan or a sports car. While at least some people would be prepared to pay a high price for a sports car, no one was going to pay $100k for an electric Honda Civic, no matter how cool it looked.

　　Part of the reason I wrote the first master plan was to defend against the inevitable attacks Tesla would face accusing us of just caring about making cars for rich people, implying that we felt there was a shortage of sports car companies or some other bizarre rationale. Unfortunately, the blog didn't stop countless attack articles on exactly these grounds, so it pretty much completely failed that objective.

　　However, the main reason was to explain how our actions fit into a larger picture, so that they would seem less random. The point of all this was, and remains, accelerating the advent of sustainable energy, so that we can imagine far into the future and life is still good. That's what "sustainable" means. It's not some silly, hippy thing -- it matters for everyone.
