Yeah it's odd. I have no idea why they'd want to limit their audience.

On the surface, if that was available today, I'd be buying one immediately, certainly looking at it very carefully.
Not quite sure how big it is, but given the Jaguar XE is one of our options it looks similar in size. No dimension findable online.

Or more likely never. (It is April 1st )

Default Tipping point today?

It's most commonly quoted as being "3 Series" sized, so probably an XE equivalent, based on my limited knowledge of the XE.

I think today may be looked back on as a tipping point for EVs - as of this point in the evening today, reservation deposits for the Model 3 are in excess of 198,000, prompting this tweet a short while ago:=>

https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...18&oe=57861DB0.

For anyone on here who's interested, here a good, digestible potted summary in the one place: http://electrek.co/2016/04/01/tesla-...-day/?pushup=1

Though bear in mind that both of these, though correct when loaded earlier today, are already out of date now.
