In keeping with Elon’s intent that the name of his vehicles spell SEXY, why not name a vehicle “I”, place the “I” in front the ☰ and you get SI☰XY. The ☰ needs a little modification to match the letters.

I don't have a twitter account.Pretty fair suggestion. You should tweet this to him.
mmm.... no, that makes it 'see-exy'
Yes, so did I!I thought this thread was going to be about Elon's tweet where he talks about dropping the current "Model ..." naming convention after the Model Y...
I do prefer cars that have names, generally. But then, I grew up in GM-land... I just like the sound of car names like Riviera, Monte Carlo, El Camino, El Dorado, Camaro, Corvette... I really hated it when Acura dumped the Legend, Vigor, and Integra nameplates in favor of alphabet soup.I thought this thread was going to be about Elon's tweet where he talks about dropping the current "Model ..." naming convention after the Model Y...

That's too confusing to me.I tend to like numbered cars like Porsche uses. 359/911/901/944/959 etc.
Absolutely true. I still don't like it. Because people you meet always just say, "I drive a Mercedes." Big deal. It could be a 190D or an S550 and they would never know the difference. There's a definitive difference between a Yaris and an Avalon, and the Toyota brand remains strong. Though no one has a clue between a ct200h and an ES350, beyond "It's a Lexus."I said this in another thread, but the reason the upscale car companies use cryptic, short alphanumeric combinations is so that you remember the car's BRAND and not the NAME. That's why Acura moved away from names. Tesla most likely wants the same result from their naming convention.
Very true. So, in the mfg's eyes, it's a win-win.Absolutely true. I still don't like it. Because people you meet always just say, "I drive a Mercedes." Big deal.
