Mild correction: "estates" are "station wagons", not SUVs.

Thanks. I think I was confused by Top Gear reviewing so many nebulously classed Porsche SUV-ish-whatever things.

Mildly off topic: It's strange how they've chosen a naming scheme that's minimally coherent and not future-proof. Even the biggest, most well resourced companies don't seem to be able to get this right. Think of Apple and the iPad. The iPad, the iPad 2 the new iPad, the iPad air etc. At this point as a casual observer I am completely confused about iPad naming.

Oh the Model X is definitely still a luxury car, no question. I imagine it'll be more affordable, though. The next model they announce - as you say, the Model 3 - is supposed to be their first truly affordable car.

Tesla hasn't announced pricing, but most predictions lean towards the price of the X being comparable to the S.
