It's more than any other electric vehicle and they are actually leading sales in their segment of cars. The market for a 70k+ vehicle might not be as big as you think. The miles a car racks up is most certainly not a function of its range, but of the people driving it. Research suggests that if you have a more efficient car (higher MPG), you will drive more.

>> It's more than any other electric vehicle and they are actually leading sales in their segment of cars. More than the Nissan Leaf? A quick search of the Nissan Leaf's sales resulted in 9,819 in 2012. For this year, YTD in April was 5,550. This is US sales only. --edit-- Worldwide sales of Nissan Leaf hit 50K in February 2013. Granted the Tesla is in a different stratosphere as it relates to price, and in that market it's really doing well, considering the market that can afford a $90K car is much smaller.
