It is a completely different market AND Tesla is a completely different company. I'm happy to have both meet in the middle. However, if you peruse this forum and Tesla's FB page for starters, you'll find that there's a rather large segment of people around the world waiting with bated breath for the Model 3. Tesla can keep right on truckin' as they are and they'll have plenty of reservations to fill without having to cater differently to the market.
It's going to be a crazy-ass internet shitstorm when people can reserve the Model 3. Curious how fast reservations will hit 1000 (or 10,000 for that matter). Any guesses? (I know, would be nice to know the $ of a reservation.)

Just curious. Couple of you folks who are current Model S owners are saying you're going to buy Model 3s. Would this be as a second car? Or "downgrading?" Model S too big for your needs/tastes? Some other reason I'm not thinking of atm?
As a non-owner, I will say that I'm considering a Model S (can afford one without problem) but frankly prefer smaller cars and still not sure I "value" the extras of an S that much more than a hypothetical 3. While I'm thinking I'll lease a Model S for a few years, I'm actually more excited about the Model 3 (for many reasons) and could see myself putting down even $10,000 for it, waiting a few years, and then dropping the S. But hard to say at this point, of course.
