The market has moved on since the idea for the Model 3 was conceived. Sales of sedans are tanking in favour of crossovers. Manufacturers are cancelling sedan production left & right, and figuring out ways to produce or import jacked up hatchbacks instead.

I bet Elon wishes an affordable Model Y was the vehicle they were currently ramping up right now.

I actually watched the live webcast of the Model 3's unveiling. But I'll read about this evening's news tomorrow.
