Fine. The use of the words is not consistent here, and people get bent out of shape if others use different uses than they want. Whatever.
I trust my point is clear. 115,000 people pre-ordered sight unseen.
Thank you kindly.

I ordered a Model 3 to replace my current sedan. If a Model Y will be available around the same time to replace my current SUV I would likely switch.
I fall cleanly into the "Elon is going to change his mind about the Falcon Wing Doors on Model Y" camp. But that's because I live with them. 
And I was one of many that was surprised and disappointed when the Model 3 was a sedan after I put down a reservation sight unseen. I was expecting a lift back like the Model S. Not sure whether I will pull the trigger on the sedan. Will be interested to see what the final version looks like since Elon tweeted the opening would be larger. Obviously there is only so much they can do with the opening, I also suspect the number was actually higher than 25% based on everyone's feedback who were in line with me at the store.

That's cool, the more people drop out of line, the faster I get my model 3

Not to argue... but if it was weird, you could just get a refund. It's not a payment - just a refundable deposit.
Exactly my thoughts; camped to make sure I get my hand in line, then i can squeeze in the front if it's awesome (which it is), or just withdraw my hand with no drawbacks
I'm not going to start it all off again but...
If it has the falcon doors on the Y it will lose its utility as you can't put anything on the roof. Elon better add some sliding doors instead.

FYI: There's a Space X launch tonight. So EM will likely be active on Twitter. While he likely won't want to focus on Model 3 or Tesla, at least we know his eyes will be on his Twitter feed. Can't hurt to try..........

Sorry. Just saw these posts. What can I say? There are some folks who were going to buy a Model 3 no matter what. There are some who weren't. I'm one of the latter.

There are just not many Teslas around and all are very expensive. Of course people will have wishes. I too am one of the few who were expecting a trunk like the S. The sedan look and hatchback functionality is just awesome. For that matter, I am not just disappointed by the closed trunk of the M3, I am also disappointed by the HB look. Ironically it does look like a hatchback.. Hatchbacks are not particularly popular for their look especially in the US.
I personally am considering purchasing a model s for that particular reason (that and the fact that I dont want to wait for 2 years or more)

I don't think that Tesla will have a problem with such customers
Especially as in a few years a happy Model S customer might also become another Model 3 customer.

Rare combination
An observation - when the M3 was revealed, there was a lot of gnashing of teeth about the Tesla Smile, funky trunk and other style comments. That seems to have calmed down - not because the design has changed, but because the Newness has worn off. Now that the front/back are familiar, the reaction is more muted. I thought folks liked "new" things. The reaction to "new" in this case says there are more of those resistant to change than I anticipated. But that in only two months, that resistance diminishes. Perhaps the wierd-ness of M3 is not so weird aftererall
That is one explanation for this, the other is that the people have now told the forum about what they think, and there is no reason to repeat it any more until we can see the finale design and see if Tesla has listened to their customers. Or an combination of the two

Just keep in mind that the people with negative opinions are always more vocal than those with positive ones. Those of us overwhelmingly pleased with the design perhaps outnumber those that are not and maybe Tesla realizes this.
