Here are some of the highlights for the week ending May 5:"Tesla is deliberately telling people the Model 3 is worse than the Model S," the Washington Post headline said. Because people keep mistakenly thinking that the Model 3 will actually outperform Tesla's older — but more luxurious — Model S," the story went on to say. Model 3 is essentially a smaller, more affordable version of the Model S with fewer features...But Model 3 was supposed to be called the Model E. But then Ford intended to sue us, and then I thought we were being all clever by calling it the Model 3, but actually the joke's on me, because it caused confusion in the marketplace, so we're doing our best to clear up that confusion so people do not think that Model 3 is somehow superior to Model S. Actually Model S will be better than Model 3, as it should be, because it's a more expensive car. --CNBC (May 4)But some of the Model S taper off may simply be due to the design getting old, according to CNET. "If the Model S has a perception problem, the reason is far more straightforward: it's getting really old," CNET said.
