Tesla's "Secret Master Plan" has always called for building lower priced models "as fast as possible" (see quote below). Elon's quote in the original post above is just the logical next step after Models 3 and Y.
"The strategy of Tesla is to enter at the high end of the market, where customers are prepared to pay a premium, and then drive down market as fast as possible to higher unit volume and lower prices with each successive model."
I would guess that Gen 4 will launch in about the 2021-22 timeframe and be priced in the $25-30K price range. With fuel savings from electric power instead of gasoline that will be an affordable vehicle for a very large number of people.
