Model S Wagon

[ShantJ]

Is there any possibility of there being a Model S wagon? With the possibility of a Model S-based van, you'd think they'd try out a wagon first.

Also, it would help create sales in Europe.

Did you know that the model S is a hatchback (sportback)?

Yes, but if you want/need a wagon, a hatchback doesn't cut it. Nothing beats an estate car for hauling a pack'o'pups so that they can see and not bonk their fury noggins when going over bumps.

I plan on getting the Model S sedan, but I think it is a great idea to offer a true station wagon body style. We seem to see an emerging comeback of the typical American station wagon, which when you look at it as an objective observer, without being weighed down by the now outdated view of the wagon as only a suburban family car, is really an ideal body style:

1. It is good for carrying cargo.
2. Those sitting in the second row seat don't have the sun on their back for the better part of a day's sunlight driving time.
3. The lower and sleeker shape and design of a good number of station wagon designs usually means that they get pretty good energy utilization ("gas mileage") mileage, especially compared to the typical mini-van or SUV.
4. Styling of the car can often be quite appealing, and I think the Model S sedan body can be rather elegantly adapted to a station wagon body style.
5. Room and comfort, along with a sense of a more open "trailing" space made up of the rear cargo or third row passenger seats, for the passengers in the first and second rows, I believe, has a positive psychological effect on all passengers, but especially first and second row passengers. If you'd like further explanation and/or interpretation of this, I can elaborate.

Overall, I would say go for it. I would certainly strongly consider getting a station wagon as a second Tesla.
