Thanks Yggdrasill. How does May number compare with Feburary number in Norway?
Never mind. I found it in previous post, it was 431 in Feburary.

May registrations in Estonia: 1 
I know one June registration already and a couple of cars are coming in the next few weeks, we'll know how many make it in June though.

May registrations in Germany still pending, didn't find anything on the KBA website just yet. Will keep you posted.
As reported (http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/31956-Cijfers-en-statistiek-Model-S-in-NL) by fellow forum member EricR based on the open access web api of the official car registration service in the Netherlands, 138 model S's were registered in the Netherlands last month (and 7 so far in June).

Bloomberg article out this morning had the following comments about Germany:
"It represents the right direction, a paradigm change," said Michael Willberg, chief executive officer of German headphones maker Ultrasone AG. He got a Tesla Model S in February after driving Mercedes and Audi cars for 20 years and has driven from the Munich area to Berlin, Cologne and Dresden. "Tesla is the car of our times."
"Germany's premium automakers feel Tesla's rise more keenly because they're expected to be the biggest innovators," said Juergen Pieper, a Frankfurt-based analyst at Bankhaus Metzler. "Tesla will be able to win over people who'd normally buy a BMW. Even in Germany, people are lining up to test drive" the U.S. carmaker's Model S sedan, the brand's only car."
While the second comment sounds very encouraging, I take it with a grain of salt as I have no idea how reliable this analyst is (my experience of U.S. analysts is some are straight shooters, some are not... though those that are not have thus far only been among the bearish).

Does tesla immediately raise price in Europe with the euro weakening. If not it may hurt margin or they could ship more to china
This can be easily checked in the Tesla MS design studio by selecting various european countries.
But no thry don't. It would be impossible as well since they get paid 4-5 months after confirmation when the price is locked down in local currency.
So instead they do like many other large companies doing international trade. They "insure" their exchange rates to some degree. Some one with better financial vocabulary can probably give the proper woed for it.
Alfred, thanks for posting the link.
It seems that Tesla is selling well due to 'wow' factor.

Insignificant, but in Estonia there was 1 registration in May. Quite many got delayed to June. There's at least one June registration already and as far as I know next week a couple more cars are to be picked up from Tilburg.

So Mercedes S class stayed about flat in the two time frames you are comparing (not sure if this is all of 2013 or just the same months), but Tesla dropped more than 25%?
I may be missing your point.

I am pretty sure that is all of 2013 vs 2014 year to date.
The all new 2014 S Class is doing quite well all over the world.
