What do you mean by "absolutely spanked"? They have out delivered all the other brands you mention this year, by number of sales and dollars,in and have a huge backlog of pre-orders.

- KirinDave 9y agoGiven that the Bolt premiered this year, was only available in California for the first 2 months, and had no pre-orders before December... those are extremely good numbers. Especially since: conspicuously absent from this list is the Model 3. What month is it again? What month was the Model 3 supposed to launch?
- mattmcknight 9y agoNot "absolutely spanked". Not in all three quarters. Make all the excuses you want, Tesla sold more EVs. When Model 3 production does ramp up, do you think it will be less than the Bolt?
- KirinDave 9y agoEvery Bolt sold now is a model 3 that won't be sold. Every Prime is a model 3 that won't be sold. You might even make an argument Volts are in that category, but I've yet to see any solid data there. I know I jumped off that stupid waiting list, I paid less and I got a great car that doesn't require I own and partially remodel a home for best experience. Every Tesla owner I know (and I know a few, I'm part of an EV modding community that Tesla owners show up at) is jealous of some core aspects of Bolt, Spark, Volt, and Leaf owner's experience. The fiat people maybe less so, but they like to point out they paid 10% and it's way easier to mod the acceleration curves so they get a pass. But it's true, we lack gull wing doors and the S's stock configuration is really fun to drive. We also paid less than half the price for more than half the upside. So.
