Elon Musk hints at Tesla Model Y with falcon-wing doors

Elon Musk, the world's greatest one-man PR machine, has hinted at the existence of another Tesla: the Model Y.

Musk revealed the information in a tweet last week, which he quickly deleted. Musk had taken to Twitter following the début of the Model X—Tesla's SUV with falcon-wing rear doors. A fan tweeted at Musk, saying she would love for the Model 3 to have falcon-wing doors as well. Somewhat surprisingly, Musk responded with: "There will be a Model 3 and a Model Y. One of the two will."

At this point, we're fairly certain the Model 3 won't have falcon-wing doors; all signs point to it being a smaller, cheaper version of the Model S. It would follow, then, that the Model Y might be a smaller, cheaper version of the Model X. Tesla trademarked the name "Model Y" back in 2013, around the same time that it trademarked the Model E.
