I'd argue in spite of its doors. A long-range EV in the most popular segment, a full decade before a single competitor? That thing could have had a single door on the front, like the BMW Isetta, and it still would have sold like mad.

Do you have any evidence for "most profitable" at all?

Looks-wise, it's basically indistinguishable from a Model 3 (which are everywhere), so hardly iconic in any way.

You sure? The model x that sells like 10-30k cars a year is the MOST PROFITABLE CAR IN THE MODERN ERA?

When compared to cars like the F150 that bring in literally billions of dollars in profit a year?

Are you sure?

Oh, you're going to say you weren't counting trucks ;) Mercedes, BMW, Lexus still blow Tesla out of the water with their lineup.

Iconic? To my eyes it's corporate memphis in car form.

I'm sure it's actually the least successful vehicle Tesla sells.

Isn’t it their worst performing model?
