Thanks for the explanation, seems like I mixed up BMWi and BMVI :frown:No this is a different programme. It is - complicated..

MBacardi reports only 29 Model S registrations in Norway through Sep 12
1) The factory was reconfigured end of July. It seems plausible the lower deliveries in Norway for this month are a ripple effect of the associated shutdown
A couple observations :
1) The factory was reconfigured end of July. It seems plausible the lower deliveries in Norway for this month are a ripple effect of the associated shutdown
2) Norway deliveries have been on a downward trend for the full year while more capacity was allocated to the rest of the European market. September could just be a confirmation of that trend
3) In light of the above, 300 deliveries for Norway/September can be considered good. In earlier quarters Norwegian delivery specialists managed to move that number of cars in just a few days. So it's certainly very possible we still hit a healthy number
4) Earlier I defended the thesis that Tesla was temporarily stretching out waiting times to open capacity in their factory to absorb (unforeseen) extra effort associated with the Model X ramp up. However, with wait times now touching 2016, I started to discount this thesis. But dramatically lower deliveries of this kind, if confirmed, could raise the plausibility of such assumption again.
5) Finally, if this number was symptomatic for the whole region then I believe Tesla would already have had visibility of it at the time of their last conference call. But back then they were still very bullish on their model S delivery numbers. This suggests the number we are looking at is a fleeting anomaly.
All in all, I don't particularly like the number, but it's not a big cause of concern to me.
This is my these...
At the end of the month I think we will see all that ordered the car before the price increase earlier, and that September will end up well above the numbers from July/Aug.
Why, I can find no EU laws saying CHAdeMO or Type 1 are mandatory, or even provisioned at all.
ACEA are proposing Type 2 / CCS as a requirement for whole vehicle type approval from 2017 onward. If this happens, and I really think it will, rolling out chargers that won't be suitable for any new cars seems a waste of resources.
For right or wrong, it really looks like CCS will win the standards war in the EU. I just think this is preempting the inevitable
Looking at the first two months of q3, we are up 25% compared to EU deliveries same time last quarter. That should make us pretty confident in Tesla meeting overall q3 target, right? Do you guys Think the numbers so far may be misleading due to front loading the quarter because of scheduled factory stand-downs during the summer?
Hobbes re q1&q2 figures for UK the figures are the same in tables veh0120 and veh0128Hobbes I just looked at All licensed vehicles and new registrations (VEH01) - Statistical data sets - GOV.UK
for Uk clicked table veh0120 which is a huge excel file I opened it with Microsoft excel viewer click bottom tab cars go to row 29963
The figures appear to be cumulative total sales so you have to take 2015q1 cum figure from 2015q2 cum figure these are 1045-902 = 143 q2 sales 902-697 = 205 q1 sales
Can you see if you or anyone else can open it and do these figures correspond with your figures/findings
Dunno how many Teslas sold in the EU the Netherlands represent... but it's just been decided that expensive EVs like the Model S, will fall under the usual fiscal category for lease cars, beginning in 2017. No doubt that will affect present sales.
MBacardi reports only 29 Model S registrations in Norway through Sep 12: (Nesten) 1500 nye Model S registrert i Mars!
Is this just a fluctuation (boat just about to come in) or something more systematic, like everyone waiting for the X instead of buying an S? Anyone from Norway feel like chiming in?
Now 102 registrations in Norway, so pace has picked up but still half of what we had the previous 2 months.

I'm afraid the European country we have the least information about - Great Britain, has a chance for heightened deliveries in Q3. The RHD P70D and P85D were scheduled to start this quarter and I would guess that may increase Great Britains numbers to equal some of the larger numbers from other European countries.So should we be worried about Europe q3 delivery numbers or did they just prioritize other countries?

I wouldn't worry about a 100 cars less. I may have misunderstood, but the way I read it, September saw only 102 Teslas registered in Norway until 9.26, which brings the Q3 total to something like 550. Normally it's around 1000-1500 so that would be a big drop. Of course, there may have been some pent up demand in RHD countries for P85D and 70D, so that could be an explanation.It is just one country and the very good numbers for Europe as a whole in July an August weigh more, so I try not to worry too much.
Does not make sense to expect a sudden drop after two very good months. 100 cars less to Norway can be sold to other countries instead. We´ll see.
The UK numbers should be good. I picked up my car last week and the main London delivery centre was maxed out. Sounds the same at the other sites. Someone mentioned a Tesla employee stating they have 600 cars to hand over in the next few weeks. My car was no 1400 ish in UK and there have definitely been over 2000 logged at order stage from other conversations. It looks like Manchester service centre will open this Autumn/Winter so more delivery capacity and now Tilburg reassembly capacity has doubled.
