Tesla CEO Elon Musk has aggressive expansion plans for the company over the next few years.

One of the most notable things that Musk has planned is a big push into China. The company aims to begin producing its cars in a new factory in Shanghai in about three years, Musk said during Tesla's third-quarter earnings call Thursday.

Here's what else Musk wants Tesla to accomplish by then.
