Thats their share of the total car market. Given that their portfolio only consists of one model, it's probably better to look at their specific segment: Luxury and Sports.
In that segment, they had a 12% market share YTD.
- rgbrenner 13y ago"Thats their share of the total car market." Yes, which is what the article is about. This article is not about a specific segment. This article is about Tesla selling more vehicles than Volvo, Chrysler, and 8 other manufacturers.
- hrjet 13y agoWhen Android was gaining ground 2 years back, the iOS folks used to draw similar conclusions. "But look at the market share of iOS" which was 80% back then. Today it's the reverse, Android is 80% while iOS is about 13% (IIRC). We need to realize that the trends are much more important than the current market share. Also that markets grow (and also shrink sometimes). We also need to realize that all products have a end-of-life, which means existing customers can switch after their vehicles become old after a couple of years.
- pbreit 13y agoUh...the trend is that Tesla sales increased 13,000%!

- consz 13y agoWow, if they keep that up, they'll be 99% of the total car market in just a few years!
- rgbrenner 13y agoI didn't draw any conclusions, or comment on the prospects of Tesla. I stated a simple fact, it is 0.6% market share. It is 4714 cars. These are figures from the report linked to in the article. This is not commentary. These are the numbers.
- hrjet 13y agoLooking back, I guess I read too much between the lines. Apologies.

- ams6110 13y agothey had a 12% market share YTD In California. Not in the world, or the US. Edit: oops I see that the link in the GP was referencing California not the overall market.
