Obviously this would seem to be for the $35,000 electric car ($25K after gas and tax subsidies) that CEO Elon Musk has promised. The vehicle is supposed to be smaller than the Model S (or X) and have a 200 mile range and be the size of a Mercedes C Class or BMW 3 series. Few other details exist on this car except its planned 2016-7 launch and its “Blue Star” codename.
‘E’ could stand for Electric or EV obviously but also economy, economic, everywhere, everyone, etc…or Elon?
When the car does land it will have a full network of Supercharger stations, according to Tesla’s published plans. Over 99% of the US population and much of Canada will be within a “tank” of a Supercharger station by 2015. Tesla’s service centers and showrooms will also be nationwide and international by 2015.

Update: Interesting bit from an old Wired article:
For now, Musk’s first Tesla priority is the 2015 new sedan, which will compete with the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Based on Tesla’s third-generation platform, Musk vowed the car will “look great and perform better than anything in its price range,” adding that it will not be called the Model E. “I was joking when I said ‘Model E,’” Musk told Wired, referring to a recent open forum he held on car culture site Jalopnik.
“In a lot of respects, it’ll be a scaled down Model S,” Musk told Wired. “Something like 20 to 25 percent smaller than the Model S.” It will also include the same hatchback design as Tesla’s current sedan.

And because that’s far higher than the typical
gain associated with a other asset class, including real estate, no doubt that
stocks would be the most profitable asset class to invest in.
Whether they invest in commercial or residential properties, or
they’re buying and then sell on properties after repairs, this is one way you define property investors.
Then your real-estate agent notifies you that there has become another offer.
