We must be close to Model S drivers outnumbering Roadster drivers. Approx 2400 Roadsters delivered .... anyone want to take a guess as to when Model S is the dominant Tesla vehicle on the road?

I was thinking about that the other day. What was the delivery target for 2012? 3k? I imagine Model S > Roadster sometime this month. Dec 24th is my WAG.Originally Posted by bonnie1194

RRRRRight about now................mark....
Roadster # 1137 / Model S # 2120
Giving it more thought I'd say it already is the dominant vehicle on the road in the US.
Many of the 2400 were sold in Europe/Canada/Asia, and some are garage queens. With >1500 on the road already in the US it is likely the dominant vehicle already.
As of Dec 23rd, Model S will be the dominant Tesla on the road in Canada as well.

It's gotta be soon - there are Model S VINSs > 2400. The deliveries happening now seem to be in the VIN ranges of 15nn - 18nn so it's likely a couple of weeks until Model S's take over the road.

Will we have a month soon where the Model S "outsells" the Nissan Leaf or Chevy Volt?
~1600 might do it.
You bet. If it doesn't happen this month, January/Feb is a sure bet. (Especially since typical auto sales would lag in those months and Tesla will be pushing out cars at full speed).

That would be a great headline: "Tesla's $100K electric car outsells all others in December!"
But since TM doesn't release sales numbers we may never have a public figure to coo over.
I have a feeling they might once their factory is producing cars at a 'stable' rate. It would not be good information to release during startup or building cars by hand. But it is something I feel they will start to do once they get their production all streamlined (maybe Q2 of 2013)
