EU Market Situation and Outlook

[Cobos]

End of quarter was an obvious reason. The other reason was most of those delivered in march was people ordering the car after the car arrived in Norway september 2013. They wanted to get a testdrive and see if the early owners complained too much about quality before they ordered. Then using a car in Norway in winter is usually not that much fun, so many delayed the order until the snow was expected to be gone. The price for all the extra equipment also had a massive increase in price around october 2013. If you finalized your order before that you got it at the old price. Those should explain why there was so many orders delivered around that time. The reason they worked so hard to get all the orders delivered I beleive was for the halo effect of them beating all records for single model delivery in one month in Norway. It creates PR, and is a "cool" effect for the Norwegian Tesla organization. You might also add that at that time they did have all their shops and SC up and running 100% so they had the infrastructure to be able to do something like this.

New Supercharger construction near Regensburg, Germany, (Eurorastpark Regensburg-Ost, Junkersstraße 3 93055 Regensburg - Google Maps) according to the pics in this forum: geplante SuperCharger in Deutschland - Ladesäulen / Stromtankstellen / Infrastruktur Seite 2 | Elektroauto Forum Especially the 4th picture looks very much like SC parts.

48 Model Ss registered in Germany in April: http://www.kba.de/cln_031/nn_330190/SharedDocs/Publikationen/FZ/2014__monatlich/fz10/fz10__2014__04__pdf,templateId=raw,property=publicationFile.pdf/fz10_2014_04_pdf.pdf

Would guess after delivering as much as possible at end of quarter the delivery pipeline had to be filled again first, also deliveries to China... Is in line with lower deliveries for Norway in April as compared to March.

So much for doubling every month, ey?

Yeah, i think that was a pipe dream anyway. If you look at the numbers from other European countries, a slow 1st months, slightly stronger 2nd and a realtivley big last month is the normal pattern per quarter.

Well there were 2 registrations in Estonia, but those were both in the first week of April and from Tesla point of view count as Q1 sales as Tesla got the money in March and handed the cars over in March, it just took them a week to get to Estonia. So no new ones. However there will be a bunch in May and from what I've heard the test drive weekend was a huge success with many a sale closed in the week following it so we'll definitely see an increase from Q1 to Q2

That's encouraging, very good. Keep us updated in the coming months about these Tesla Model S deliveries in Estonia.

There's also the fact that by all accounts the subsidy will run out in Q4 therefore people need to place their orders latest in Q3 to get the nice 18 000 eur subsidy So I'm expecting a boom in Tesla sales now that Tesla has semi-officially said they'll open a service center and shop in Tallinn in 2015

Mario Kadastik: How many Teslas are registered in Estonia? What do you do when\if the car breaks down and need service?

Currently five. The number will likely double in May and keep doubling after that in next months. And if there is a problem we call the ranger.

My post regarding the doubling of the figures from January to March, especially the projection until December, was intended as a joke anyway...

 

[hobbes]

Germany:

2013-08 14
2013-09 42
2013-10 34
2013-11 57
2013-12 36

2014-01 30
2014-02 66
2014-03 143
2014-04 48

The 2013 numbers are not official, also some confusion about if 60 kWh MSs are included (so might be a few more). Correct me if you know better.

I tried to make this a wiki post with a table for all countries x months, but couldn´t. Does anyone know how to or does it take google docs?
