“Nice, but the Kona is a subcompact. The Model 3 is midsize”

SUV vs Sedan is the correct comparison. Sedans sales are dying in the USA.(see Ford) A family of four or five will fit fine in the Kona. Tesla missed the mark, the 3 should have been a small SUV for the N. American market. Or at least a platform that could support both.

No it isn't. A family of four or five will fit fine in the Kona.

That's not what I just read in Car and Driver. They said the space is cramped.

The Model Y is on the way:

Based on CEO Elon Musk’s public comments, the Model Y may be just around the corner.

“We’re aiming to unveil the Model Y approximately March next year, and then go into production about two years from now,” he said at the company’s most recent annual shareholder meeting. “Maybe a little less than two years, but basically first half of 2020 for production of Model Y.”
