Where did he specifically clarify that? Got a link?

Sometime in that vid he states that he mentioned the Model 3 and model Y coming, one of which would have falcon wings, then he says "I think its pretty obvious its the model Y" or something to that affect. I watched it a week ago so its a bit hazy, but that is the gist of it. He does NOT confirm that the Y is an SUV/CUV but that seems fairly likely

As someone who remembers that the WhiteStar sedan (ultimately the model S) was supposed to cost $50,000 and be built in Albuquerque, NM, I would take any projection about a falcon-doored Model Y (a designation that Elon reportedly said was a joke to Ford's Allan Mulally) with a grain of salt.
I'm fairly sure you are way off the mark with your design ideas, i.e. not going to happen. The last thing a modern EV should look like is an outdated ICE design. I'd also mention that most people disagree with your impressions of the Model S design.

agreed.
So what should a "modern EV" look like? The Leaf, with its weird, fender-length headlights and fat, ugly butt that looks like someone duct-taped half a 55 gallon drum onto the bumper as an afterthought?Agreed x 2
That's the car that I drooled over several years before it came out. That's the car that I quit my job to start a business over. That's the car that I saved up for over half a decade to afford. The Model S isn't 'that car', but I'm certainly hoping the Model 3 is for the next generation.
I can pick a Model S out of a crowd in a blink..
