I apologize if this topic has already been discussed, but has anyone heard whether Tesla plans a two row seat configuration? Kind of like Cayenne?
Love everything about Model X, but we don't have five kids, like Elon does and could use more comfortable/spacious back seats and more storage in the...
On the other hand, first time a 100K+ VIN appeared was around Aug/6 and we now have someone reporting 110727 on Oct/1, so in exactly 8 weeks we have over 10K VINs. Either they started skipping VINs much more than before, or the order rate has really accelerated (90K+ VIN first reported assigned...
I am thinking this points to potentially faster ramp of Model X production than people think (positive). Or some other kind of impact of Model X launch on Model S production (negative)
From InsideEV - Russian gas stations mandated to install chargers by Nov,1 2016
Surreal. There are 45000 gas stations in Russia and, according to this article, 500 electric cars.
Another interesting observation:
"On Thursday, out of nearly 60,000 used cars on sale in Moscow on the popular...
ev-sales has a link to an article claiming 21 Model S sold so far this year in Ukraine.
The article in Ukrainian sites "internal affairs ministry" as a source with no link, so not sure how to confirm.
And, same as for Russia, the question is, since Tesla does not sell in Ukraine, are these...
I don't think I fully agree with the sentiment regarding Russia. Yes, the economy is plunging, the distances are vast.
But, despite political instability, premium Russian car market is still large. GM is not a good comparison, as it was focusing on low end cars.
It's actually comparable to...
RobStark - Belarus - yes, it's also a very small country. On the other hand, the standard of living is much higher than in Ukraine, and Tesla did seem to plan entry into Ukraine, at least before the recent turmoil.
Regarding Russia - what can Tesla expect in Russia is an interesting question. On...
We now have official sources for all countries in the table.
Here's some other countries missing from the table:
Portugal (EV Sales: Portugal June 2015 (Full Ranking) says 10 cars sold so far this year) - official site - ACAP | Homepage - I could not figure out where ev-sales found the actual...
Nice graph. Another important trend is obviously the decrease of relative share of Norway sales.
In Q1 Norway was 43.7% of all sales in Europe. In Q2 28.6%. July is 19%.
So the growth outside of Norway is very impressive. Norway, and possibly Netherlands are saturated markets. But other markets...
Hobbes, yes, impressive number - I was surprised to see 42 cars sold there over 7 months this year.
And to complicate things further :)
Here's data on Iceland from ev-sales
EV Sales: Iceland July 2015
According to them , 4 Model S sold in July and 11 so far this year.
Should we add a row for...
I wonder if upcoming launch of Model X is a significant factor in Model S demand right now.
Sure, some people are in the market for specifically 4 door sedan or 4 door SUV, but there's some overlap.
If I were buying a Model S right now, I'd definitely wait another 2 months until confirming to...
Interesting. I was wondering for a while, why Tesla has not rolled out in Korea faster. One other obvious element, which makes this market attractive is geography - the population is very dense, you only really need a few superchargers to cover the country, and people only really drive within...
The last "big" number outside of UK came out finally - Switzerland. And it's a big one - 253.
Even assuming low 200 for UK for the quarter, which is in the table right now, Q2 in Europe is 3909 vs. 3404 in Q1, 15% up.
If we exclude Norway, it's 2767 in Q2 vs. 1958 in Q1. More than 40% up!
Elon...
Are you sure the company is really a partner? Unless there's official statement by Tesla, I would take it with a grain of salt. Tesla hasn't done this in any other country, only direct so far.
There's a similar story in Russia with a company called Revolta Motors that seem to have no connection...
According to this Hong Kong may be more than many people expect. Ev sales claim ~50 cars delivered in May and 420 so far this year. That means ~80/ month in Hong Kong alone.
32no, thanks, Hybrid Cars seem like a good source. I do want to point out that I think 4700 was INsideEvs estimate for US alone. (vs. 4900 US for Hybrid Cars). Still, HybridCars seem to be closer.
In any case, their April and May numbers combined are actually very similar (4200 HybridCars vs...

92 for Germany
I am surprised by very high numbers by Inside EV. They are also saying EU and ROW are dropping, which we know is wrong
"we would be very much surprised to see more than ~800 or so delivered in the rest of the world during the month."
Estimates for US deliveries from other websites are way...

I was in Shenzhen this week and Uber there has a Tesla option! You have a choice between "People's Uber", "UberX", "Black" and "Tesla".
2-3 times more expensive than the cheapest "People's Uber", but note that Uber is dirt cheap over there ($2 for 15 min ride ).
I never took it, as the wait time...
Gerasimental, yes, just estimates. Another number here - 1650 - EV Sales: USA April 2015
Regarding end of quarter push, we'll start seeing how that changes monthly numbers distribution when May and June numbers come out.
He may have just referred to the last few days frenzy. Hard for me to see...

The numbers for Germany and Switzerland are also out (according to links on a wiki page) , but I'm not sure how to extract Tesla numbers from those tables
Demand for Model X will be much higher than for Model S. Porsche Cayenne outsells Panamera 2.5 to 1 for example.
" In 2014, the Cayenne was once again the most popular model with 65,941 vehicles delivered. . 24,864 Panameras were delivered " (note btw that...
