Today's energy economy is dirty and wasteful.
80% of global energy comes
from fossil fuels

Beyond Tesla
While we are uniquely focused on accelerating

the world’s transition to sustainability, a full
transition will require efforts far beyond Tesla.
In Master Plan Part 3, we highlight five key areas
that we believe can most dramatically advance

the shift to sustainability.
