Would you mind elaborating on the "dual motor" aspect? That would be down from 4 motors?
The current Model S only has one motor.
Some are speculating a dual-motor Model S, which would be quite interesting.

The frame on display in their showroom seems to have two motors in the back, except one of them acts as a generator (for regenerative braking). Maybe they changed the power routing to let it drive as well? Sounds like too small a change for such a fancy rollout.
The dual motor would come into play making it an AWD car instead of just RWD, that seems more plausible.
By the way, what happened to Model X?
I predict this will be on a same price range of the Model S, or even more expensive. By the way, what happened to Model X?
Not too bad for a new design.
what about a Hybrid? Diesel and Battery! I would love to see the Model X be a hybrid instead of pure EV, or at least an option for those of us who need to pull trailers and boats on occasion with our SUV.

My reasoning: Tesla has vehicles (for sale or in plan) in three segments: high-end sedan, CUV, and mid-range sedan. Building a coupe would fill another segment.
Also, the 2-door market has lots of models (2/4/6 series, C/E/S class, A5, CTS) that are priced high. Attracting higher income buyers to Tesla from these companies with a 2-door would be a very logical next step.
D = dual, as in dual door?
