The Internet is still waking up from the madness that was the Model 3 unveiling, but Tesla CEO is – as always – looking towards the future. While in Norway recently, Musk talked about Tesla’s upcoming EV. No, not the 3, but the even cheaper and smaller electric vehicle that will be coming out after the 3 debuts. Musk said the following, talking about the Model 3 (to start):

I’m super excited about being able to produce a car that most people can afford. And there will be future cars that are even more affordable down the road, but, with something like the Model 3, it’s designed such that roughly half of the people will be able to afford the car. Then, with fourth generation and smaller cars, we’ll ultimately be in the position where almost everyone will be able to afford the car.

You can hear it for yourself at about 12 minutes into the video above. It’s worth watching the whole thing, because Musk also mentions fossil fuel subsidies, that mysterious mass transit solution thing and
dying on Mars.

What’s most interesting about Musk’s comments about Tesla’s future is that he may not be around to steer the ship when this next EV arrives. Musk has said that he will remain the Tesla CEO at least until the Model 3 production has ramped up, but after that, who knows. As he said a year and a half ago, „I will never leave Tesla forever, but I may not be CEO forever. Nobody should be CEO forever.“
