The Battle for 2nd Place

[Larry Chanin]

That's a big hill to climb, Larry...

Haven't you heard that you try harder when you're in second place?

WA is indeed second in Leaf sales.

I remember a study which predicted NY & FL being the top EV markets after CA by 2020.

ps : I guess we will go back to being the highly caffeinated vampire state.

Dream on.

We're already sandbaggin'--we've got more than 50 already and are purposely holding back. Just wait until the "Houston to Austin Tesla Road Rally". I've already said too much.

Hi Shephen,

Well, do you have any actual deliveries yet? We do.

First Florida Delivery!

Nice, congrats! However, you'll ultimately need that photo to keep your spirits up as our Texas volume ramps up. Take heart, you'll maintain your lead in Tesla stores in cities with the name "Beach" in them.

To be fair, the competition should be done per capita.

Ahem... Shouldn't this be a battle for *third* place? NorCal and SoCal are duking it out for the top spot and they are two different states for all practical purposes

Hi Stephen,

Thanks. Well, you'll find that soon we will have two service centers and two stores in the state and the two new facilities won't have the name "Beach" in them.

Tesla is adding a new service center in Tampa and a new store in Orlando. That should accelerate our sales momentum.

I see Texas only has one each.

Don't you worry, the Austin store and service center will be online before you know it. That brings us both the 13th largest city in the US and close proximity to the 7th largest city in the US (San Antonio). One more store 200 miles up I-45 brings us Dallas (9), Fort Worth (16), Arlington (50), Plano (70), Garland (86), and Irving (93). Game over at that point. However, there is certainly no shame in 3rd!

Just remember, WA has the cheapest electricity rates in the nation and one of the greenest grids, that will definitely help us get and hold our second place.
