True, although you can say that (maybe indirectly) the model S is competing with the likes of S-class, LS, A7/A8, 7er, etc. and compared with those it hasn't do

True, although you can say that (maybe indirectly) the model S is competing with the likes of S-class, LS, A7/A8, 7er, etc. and compared with those it hasn't done extremely well. It has done well yes, but it had the novelty/coolness factor going for it. Let's see how it compares 2 or 3 models from now. My guess is it will have a hard time keeping the novelty (and thus the sales), especially, like you mentioned, when others will catch up on the electric cool(if they haven't already).
- rdtsc 11y ago> it had the novelty/coolness factor going for it Yes. I think there is almost a parellel market for. If I had $100k+ to throw for a car, I would not buy a Mercedes, BMW or Cadilac. I would still be driving a Honda Civic. But I would buy a Tesla.
- tinbad 11y agoTrue, I know a few (here in SV, where else? ;) who went from a Prius to a Tesla.
