Tesla sales beating Mercedes, BMW and Audi - May. 13, 2013
You know the Tesla Model S, the $70,000 (and-up) electric car that "nobody can afford"? Well, evidently, more than a few people can afford it.
In fact, in the first quarter of this year, more people bought a Tesla Model S than bought any of the similarly priced gasoline-powered cars from the top three German luxury brands, according to data from LMC Automotive. About 4,750 buyers bought a Model S while just over 3,000 people bought Mercedes' top-level sedan.
My, my, what are the 'let the market decide' people going to say about this? And what happens when the inevitable drop in battery prices, and increase in range occurs?
