That was part of S E X Y.
Without Model E there is really no point to Model Why? I think that would be a marketing faux pas.

S X Y can also be read as "sexy" but it's more subtle.
I don't think Tesla ever chose trademarks based on them spelling out "SEXY", that was just happenstance.
Perhaps the Gen III car will be the "Model C" for "Compact"? But I doubt it. It sounds like it will be more of a mid-size car than a compact.

Shortly after Gen III sedan they will debut Gen III CUV(SUV).
So it needs to be four letters.
Like I said Model Y or WHY? is not a great idea unless it is preceded by S E X.
I am not going to go googling for the Elon quote but yeah they did it intentionally.
Elon said large companies and auto companies in particular have no sense of humor.
Mentioned stereo volume going "up to 11" with reference to Spinal Tap.
Gen III sedan will definitely be compact sized length but have a mid-size interior due to EV drivetrain and wider width.
I would not label it "Model Compact" when it is much bigger on the inside.
Would solve the issue of redesigning the nose-cone. Only drawback is all the Knight Rider jokes that would become contractually obligated.
Gen lll ... no longer model E ??
Saw this today. Seems kind of weak that Ford applied after and Tesla still doesn't get the trademark. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1092057_next-generation-tesla-electric-car-wont-be-model-e-after-all

Merged. As a heads up, it's usually best to do a search first as folks here usually post news as soon as it's out (GCR just posted it, but it's not new).
I like your thinking. However it will be tough not to save the Model R for the new Roadster when Tesla finally gets around to making it.
A B C D F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W Y Z
That's what we've got to work with...
Model A = Same issue with Ford. Just okay IMO.
Model B = Blah
Model C = Okay
Model D = No thrill for me.
Model F = Too many negative connotations. Fail/Grades/Foolish
Model G = Okay
Model H = Boring
Model I = Okay
Model J = No thrills with this one either
Model K = Just Okay
Model L = Okay
Model M = Mid sized sedan - my favorite so far
Model N = Okay
Model O = It doesn't sound nice. Too cutesy.
Model P = Okay
Model Q = Okay
Model R = Roadster
Model T = Ford has this one wrapped up.
Model U = Okay
Model V = Vroom/Velocity Okay
Model W = Too hard to say - not bad though
Model Y = Tesla has it but it's not good for the Gen III sedan if you ask me.
Model Z = Okay
There is my take on the letters. About half the alphabet doesn't work for me.

There's also S 3 X which is even more cryptic. Or "Generation Three-some" - which really lacks class

Could they rename Model X as Model EX keeping the Y alive? I'm sure he wanted to save Y for the new Roadster. Or can the name for the smaller car be Model e? Or would Ford have that too? Just wondering.
I think that is the best idea I've heard so far. Think of the image of lining up facing the camera, left to right, the Model S SE X XE and the eventual Model Y (a truck?).

And then of course, the next generation Roadster
