I also like "Sedan." The only trouble is that Tesla intends to sell more than one model of sedan, so they'll need some way to distinguish the one from the other. The number/letter designation is problematic, whether you go by range or power. Range is determined late and changes at government's whim (note last year's major highway cycle rework), and nobody wants next year's model number to drop dramatically from this year's. Power isn't likely to work well either, mostly because I think both models of sedan will have the same ouput, so it doesn't do the job of differentiation.
I suppose the model name + letter code thing (maybe EV and RE?) could work Ok; there are certainly lots of GT's and LS's out there, so it would be familiar. And unoriginal. Perhaps instead they should just give them two unique names. If they were going to do that, I'd go for something related to Nikola Tesla himself; maybe the pure EV could be the "coil" and the RE version the "polyphase." Ok, maybe not the last one....but I do like coil.
BTW, vfx, my cat is named "cat" ...just like his mother was. What's the point of naming an animal that won't come when you call it?
