A few Tesla fans out there have been discussing the possibility of a coupe variant of the Model S. I thought I would offer up my interpretation to the Tesla collective. I've read some of the comments and critiques on the other coupe renderings and done my best to incorporated solutions to previous concepts, such as what to do about huge coupe doors, and the long overall length. Given Tesla's flare for creating pragmatic, yet innovative door designs, such as the now-famous 'Falcon-Wing' doors on the Model X, it seemed logical to me that Tesla would likely opt for a split-door design much like the Mazda RX-8, so this is what I went with. I approached this much in the same way BMW creates 6-Series coupe with the 5-Series platform. I wanted to retain as much of the emerging Tesla design language as possible, while bringing out a classic coupe shape. I traded the hatchback for a pronounced trunk deck lid, for a balanced coupe profile with the entire cabin space sitting within the wheelbase. A lot of people like hatchbacks better, and I like them too -- but they aren't energy efficient. Especially in cold climates, it's nice to keep the car warm while loading up the trunk! I hope some of you like my renderings. Enjoy :^)
