I don't see why they wouldn't, they already sell their powertrains to other companies.

It would probably depend on how much extra capacity they have. The Tesla vehicles are in high demand and only going to be in more demand when they start rolling out the Tesla 3 (which is really the 4th Tesla isn't it, I guess they're referring to it being the 3rd generation with the Model S and X being the same generation).

Elon gave a funny explanation for the new name: he would have wanted a Model E to compose S E X, but the name was already taken. So he chose 3 to at least have S 3 X.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. Elon Musk himself confirmed that S, E, and X was supposed to make fun of how sex is used in marketing to sell.
