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.
