Tesla to make compact sedan EV for under $30k (before incentives)

Apparently, after the Model X is finished up and in production, the next step is to develop a lower cost sedan sized similar to a BMW 3-series.

The sedan is expected to be roughly the size of a BMW 3-Series..

...

The previously announced entry-level sedan, to be a 2015 model, is targeted for a price before incentives of about $30,000.

...

The sedan will actually be a five-door hatchback, as is the Model S, Musk told Wired.

He called it a "scaled-down Model S," saying it would be "20 to 25 percent smaller" than the current Tesla sedan.
