Model E

[MLH]

Everyone? Economy, Electric??

I doubt Everyone. "The People's Car" and "Everyone's Car" were used by Hitler for the Volkswagen KdF.

Yes.....and so VOLKSWAGEN has remained for the subsequent seven decades, so I guess that shoots down that one.Stepping away from the good humor of this thread, I will say I hope it does NOT mean "Executive" - as in, a stretch model for the cojonically underenhanced.

and how much fun it is enough? Charging ....

Efficiency is my guess.

Put it on the board!

"E" can stand for everything that's already been noted on this thread; my money is on Model E being Gen III.

 

[Lump]

Models S E & X, no way.

E = Economy

 

[anticitizen13.7]

E = Economy

Along similar lines: E = Economies of Scale. 300k+ per year :biggrin:

Tesla trademarks "Model E"

Tesla wants to trademark 'Model E' - could that stand for 'economy'? - Silicon Valley Business Journal

Again, here is another article that says it's around $30,000, which is wrong, it's $35,000. If they use E for Economy, everyone better be ready for the nay-sayers to say that's wrong and they are manipulating the term. I'm assuming they would be using the term like for an airplane, meaning general/everyone, but not everyone can afford a $35,000. I'm not going to get on my soap box again, but they are playing with fire here. Now if the price was in the mid to high 20s, that would make sense.

I think auto companies like coming up with letters that sound good - and may or may not mean anything. S - could be Sedan or could be like the S class of Mercedes. E could be Economy/Everyone/Excellent or E class like of Mercedes. I suspect it is the latter.

My guess is that the Model C will follow, for Crossover. The "mini-model X" on the Gen III platform. Should I patent it now just in case?? We don't want another China situation.

Then we will have SEX-C

I believe Elon also said it is in today's dollars, so add a few years inflation by the time it is released. Probably more like $40,000.

 

[Norbert]

E as in effordable.

 

[Trnsl8r]

Anyone know if they trademarked "Model R"?

 

[SteveG3]

Model E for Earth?

Extraterrestrial? (sometimes I wonder about Elon... he's awful eager to get beyond this planet
