The comparison is misleading. I'd wager few new MB S sell for $70-80k. A better comparison in performance, price, equipment and size would be the mid-size equivalents, e.g. E-class, 5-series (GT?), A7. It's possible the Model S has sold more than the 5-series GT and A7, but mostly because the market has a hard time understanding hatchbacks.
