Tesla's latest addition to its lineup, the stretched crossover, aims to expand the electric vehicle manufacturer's appeal to a wider audience. However, industry analysts suggest that while the new model's sleek design may be a hit with some, its six-seat layout and crossover styling may not quite match up to the space and practicality offered by larger, more traditional family haulers.

But will the Tesla's unique design and features be enough to convince consumers to take the plunge?
