Tesla Model X Launch, Tonight 8pm PST
A Lotus Elise is cheap and fast and everyone wants one, but I never see them driving down the road
That's because of
practicality
, and because not everyone actually wants one.

True point on practicality, but there are plenty of two-seaters (or virtually two-seaters) driving around. The point was, just because it's inexpensive doesn't mean it's automatically popular.

The thing is, the Elise makes your garden variety two-seater look achingly practical in comparison. But yes, you are right on the last bit.
