It is probably perfectly accurate. They sold (from an accounting standpoint) just under 4k cars last year, and VINs as of end of May were around 13,000. That puts it at around 9k cars through May. This is neither good nor bad news; it's right on track. Now, it has nothing to do with normal new car sales, for the period, because all of these cars were pre-sold in 2012. We have no idea what the number of cars sold in the traditional sense are during that period. Since they stopped giving out reservation numbers, we just don't know. The second article talks about 35,000 cars being sold in 2013, but since they are production constrained at a bit over 20k cars per year right now, I'm not sure how they get that estimate. Blah.
