Elon said he expects to sell more of them than the S and 3 combined.

And.. made a joke that Ford killed Sex (by taking the 'e', forcing him to use 3)

I mean...it's fine? It's hardly an SUV. It's more like a slightly bloated hatchback. Is it attractive? Not especially, though the Model 3 has kind of grown on me from every angle except dead on rear.

It's conservatism in design choices is precisely what Tesla needs. It should be easier to build than the X. And in a world where Audi still hasn't launched the e-tron (someday soon!) and Jag is offering an i-Pace that has less range from 20 kwh more battery, the specs are pretty hard to beat.
