Edmunds forecasts U.S. sales of 16.8 million in 2018. Cox Automotive last week said it projects the market to be 16.7 million, 100,000 more than it thought before the tax-reform bill was approved.
The Edmunds and Cox forecasts mirror a projection from Toyota this month that 2018 would be in the "mid- to upper 16 million" range. The National Automobile Dealers Association projects sales of 16.7 million, which it said would still mark a great year for the industry.

Tesla will need a grand total of 167k-169k US deliveries in 2018 to top 1% US Automotive market share for the year. That should put Tesla above Acura and just below Buick in US market share all else being equal. In 2016 Buick delivered 229,631 vehicles and is on pace to deliver ~215k vehicles for 2017. So Tesla will need about that many to top Buick.
