I think that iMiEV will be a fantastic car - for its intended purpose. I've said it before, and I agree with Evan - the ideal follow-on car to the S Sedan is a Prius-class vehicle. Maximized interior space, minimized exterior. Good for a standard US family with gear. The iMiEV is too small for this job, the Prius if perfect.

If Tesla jumps for a large car like the S, to a Micro car like the iMiEV, I think the masses are being missed completely. We need something in the MIDDLE of the spectrum. We already have two cars at the extreme ends.

IMO the Clubman is a very good type of car to pursue. Of course, without the door arrangement used on that car, horrid. Allowing 4 adults, maybe +2 kids. With back seats folded down allowing the same kind of space as a Model S (with his seats up). With the Blue Star's seats up, making a 4 adult + baggage journey comfortably possible (count in, you also have cargo space under the bonnet so it can be smaller than a comparable ICE-powered car) . An agile swifty Clubman-ish would be the perfect deal for me. Just for god's sake, make normal, actually practical doors all 'round, not like expect anything else from Tesla .
