GenIII, "We really need to find a better name for it"

...how does the "Tesla T" sound?

....

Like somtin' Jed Clampet came upon.

IMO the obvious choice is the Model E, because it's the electric car for everybody. Could be a great part of driving the electric part home to consumers who have never heard of Tesla. Messing with "Model T" is stupid IMO.

E is the best letter choice.

I vote for Model E! E for Electric, E for Everyone, E for Esquire!

E for Exceptional! If it's to be a letter, like the S, then I think the Model E is best too. I think I said I'd like the Model E for its name in my first post on the forum.

I also like Model E

I don't like Model T, because of it's affiliation with a 100 year old Ford. But I think Tesla T would be alright...

Since the Model S is so Jag-like, might as well call the next car something close to the E Type. Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

If Model E is to stand for "electric", "everyone", etc., what did the Model S stand for? As far as I'm aware, it was "sedan". The Model X for crossover. This next car will be a mid-sized sedan, so I'm thinking (in keeping with the nomencalture so far), Model M.

Model M gets my vote. BMW uses 'M' to indicate their higher performance, Tesla could market it as "Our entry level mid-size sedan starts at M."
