In the latest quarterly report, Tesla showed the following spreadsheet comparing the sales of the Model S in 2014 and 2015 compared to other large luxury vehicles:

I thought it would be interesting to see whether this trend continues into 2016 or not, versus 2015. So using data from both the good car bad car website, and the insideevs website, I put together the following spreadsheet. This includes the data from the original investors letter, with the 2015/1016 data further to the right.
A couple things are evident from just the first two months of sales. Month to month sales can fluctuate pretty wildly. Just look at the BMW 6-Series data. I'm not inclined to try and figure out why sales dropped from 1,237 in 2015 down to 265 this year. I'm just pulling the raw numbers together to get the same idea of what is happening versus Model S sales like Tesla did in the investors letter. And note that Mercedes started combining their much lower CLS-Class sales with the higher E-Class sales. A coincidence that CLS sales were down pretty significantly in January before the February combining?
I'll continue this going forward, the next update should be in about a week. If insideevs adjusts their Tesla U.S. sales estimates after Tesla releases their first quarter actual results, I'll incorporate the new numbers.
