Contrary to the current conversation, there was an accidental "reveal" of the Model 3 about 2-3 years ago. Basically, the Model 3 looks like a small Model S.
The accidental reveal was within a video posted by Tesla. The video was intended to showcase the Tesla factory and accidentally included a shot of the design studio where a Model 3, probably a full-size clay model, was briefly seen.
This makes sense. One reason for Model S popularity is the beautiful design. Another is the low drag coefficient. In addition, building a smaller version of the Model S may help reduce some of the design/build costs.
