I think they'd need at least three different products: a sedan, a minivan, and a truck. To the other commentator, I don't believe market segmentation is essential at this stage of the game yet. However, my information about it is mostly from this Joel Spolksy article http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/CamelsandRubberDuckie... so I don't know much about this topic.

Market share for sedans and minivans has been declining for years. Current mainstream USA market growth is mainly in small to medium crossovers (i.e. tall station wagons that sort of look like SUVs).

They are already mostly done with the estate/SUV Model X. Then, they are going to introduce the Model 3, which will be more like an ordinary family car. That will be three models.
