Basically if you want to be a innovator you can't worry about eating your own.
Incidentally Tesla has done the same with Model 3 / Y eating up S / X sales.
- DaiPlusPlus 6y ago> with Model 3 / Y eating up S / X sales. Eeehhhhh. Not really. They did discontinue the low-end S editions, yes - but the number of people who could have afforded to buy an S who opted for a 3 instead aren’t that many people. Tesla opted to remarket the S/X as flagship cars instead of being their mainstream offering. It would be cannibalism if Tesla launched an extended wheelbase/station-wagon/estate/shooting-brake version of the Model 3/Y while still getting the S/X around. Actually - I will concede that the Model Y probably is eating into sales of the X.
