Really? You really think that Tesla didn't think about it? I find it very hard to believe that a company that has managed to completely disrupt not one, but at least 3 different industries didn't bother to think about what was the best way to go in regards to which model to release when. They made the decision that they felt put the company in the right place at the right time to continue on their stated path to expedite the world's transition to renewable energy. They felt that releasing the Model 3 first better suited the companies ability (logistically and financially) to continue on that road. By the way, it certainly appears to be working out for them.Well there has been a lot of answers already. I have had this discussion in the past. Sedans are going the way of the dodo. I disagree with most of the answers. The best are there would be too much demand! Really, when was the last time a company did not build something as there would be too much demand? Isn’t that the whole Tesla mission? To be frank, I feel they just didn’t think about it. When the plan was hatched in 2006 or so, sedans were still more popular, especially in fair weather states. At the time the plan was roaster....model s...then 3. Then the plan is set in motion...and they did not anticipate the relatively rapid pendulum swing from sedan to cuv/ suv.

It's a good thing when you have people willing to wait for years potentially (I waited 2 1/2 years for my Model 3) for your product. If you don't like the platform Tesla is offering now then wait another year and you will have more choices. People are notoriously bad when it comes to patience. That is why I named my car Patience. It's the one thing the car has taught me! I have never been so glad to wait so long for something in my life. Patience...they're coming soon.
