I've definitely seen an influx in Porsches in my area. I wonder how well this campaign is working for them in getting potential Tesla owners to consider the Panamera.
Funny. I see more panamera owners going to he model s.think the drop in sales last year for the panamera is proof.
Panameras are almost non existent in up here in Northern Calif. If they didn't have the Cayenne (or is it the Paprika?), they might be out of business.

The important part is that Model S outsell Porsche Panamera 2 to 1 in US. Will MS outsell it in EU and China? If yes Tesla potentially already much bigger than whole Porsche. Well MX is coming to compete with Cayenne, and Tesla will definitely will come with new roadster to compete with 911.
Yes there will be a new Tesla Roadster...someday. I think it is at least 5 years away. Compared to the market for sedans and coupes and SUVs and trucks, the 2 seater sports car market (or the 2+2 seat sports car) is very small. Since Tesla's objective is to show the world that ICE vehicles can be replaced with EVs that are better in every way, and Tesla has already built an EV sports car, I do not believe that Tesla will build a new Roadster any time soon.
