Let's also not ignore the obvious conflict of interest in a group promoting electric vehicle sales trying to speak about actual statistics. As mentioned, BMW sold 172k cars, Mercedes Benz 182k, Audi 87k for total of 441k. Tesla at ~10k, 2% of above (though all ~$100k).
If you want model to model comparison, the model S clearly doing fine though, all depends on the headline you want I guess: http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/13/autos/tesla-sales-bmw-mercedes-audi/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/13/autos/tesla-sales-bmw-merced...
- twoodfin 13y agoNot to mention Infiniti, Lexus, Cadillac...
- sk5t 13y agoRange Rover, Jaguar, Porsche, Aston Martin, Maserati, Bentley... I hesitate to mention Lincoln as their designs have sucked bigtime for a really disconcertingly long while.
- chiph 13y agoLincoln knows what they need to build (a modern version of the 1963 Continental) but has failed to commit design and manufacturing resources to do so. So they end up badge-engineering Ford products.
- tracker1 13y agoI believe the comparison is to similar models... You wouldn't compare a Mercees SLK to a BMW 3 series... in this case, I'm pretty sure they are comparing against large size luxury sedans alone...
