Hmm that is true. It's probably been said before, but the Model X definitely made things a lot more difficult to get to a rollout of the model 3. "I'm not sure anyone should have made this car," he said at a press conference just hours before the first Model Xs were delivered to VIP customers." ""We probably should have just [modified the Model S]," he added. "There are so many more features and difficult to build parts on [the Model X] than it is necessary for us to sell the cars.""

> "We probably should have just [modified the Model S]" This is one thing I really don't get about Tesla. Why haven't they made an estate-ish version of the Model S? I'm thinking along the lines of the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake: http://images.car.bauercdn.com/upload/28771/images/1752x1168/cls01.jpg?mode=max&quality=90&scale=down http://images.car.bauercdn.com/upload/28771/images/1752x1168... It's a very nice looking car, and adds that little bit of luggage practicality that the Model S is missing. The aerodynamics aren't much worse than the coupe, so range shouldn't suffer very much.

  That is the ugliest thing I've seen in a long time, more power to you if you like the appearance, but I can't seem them bringing in sales for that thing for the design.

  That thing is impressively ugly IMO. It's like a fun 2017 hatchback got involved with a 1960s station wagon

  I don't think it's uglier than the sedan but I wouldn't call it beautiful. VW makes really nice wagon versions of its golf (or Jetta depending on the year) and I don't see why Tesla couldn't have done something similar.
