I'm a huge fan of wagons (still miss my old Mazda 6 wagon!) and I totally would've bought a Tesla Model W if it were offered :biggrin:

There are already few threads here proposing the 'Shooting brake' design. I like it. A lot don't!

Ok. Somewhat dumb question... What defines a station wagon? I thought it was the 5th door.
So is the Model S not already a station wagon?

Well, they did sort of announce a Model W. I mean, kinda. Probably not what you're looking for, though.

The back end is more square, not sloped. The Model S is more of a Liftback.
Hatchbacks and SUVs have 5 doors, but aren't wagons either.

I think the market for a wagon would not provide an adequate ROI for Tesla. And what's the need? The space capacity of the Model S is already nearly the equivalent of many conventional wagons.
It won't happen -- not consistent with Tesla's strategy going forward.

Nice. Now I can have the proper space for the dog without the gull wing MX. I bet it will be cheaper and more efficient than X.

unfortunately the wagon market in the US is losing to the SUV. I have one of the last BMW 5 series wagons produced for the US, and I've heard they are stopping the 3 series wagon also. Before that we had a Saab 9-5 wagon for 10 years. Wagons in Europe are much more common, they perform everything we do with an SUV or truck in the US. It was common to see a wagon or even a sedan pulling a horse trailer or camper on the autobahn while living in Germany. For people with big dogs they are wonderful, low load floor and tons of space behind the second seat for the dog. With the vertical back window the cargo area doesn't get as warm as a hatchback area gets.

I think wagons are a kind of acquired taste. I actually liked the CTS and CTS-V wagons (I owned a CTS sedan) and think this rendering looks quite nice. Wagons just don't seem to sell well in North America, so it's not likely we'll see it any time soon.
Technically, I'd call the model S a "hatchback" but hatchbacks are not very popular (especially in the US more so than Canada) so I think that's why it always gets the "sedan" label.
