This "study" just doesn't sound credible. For the imiev to show up in the results despite no longer being on sale AND beating out the leaf and bolt just seems perverse.

Elon confronting the media may resonate in areas of the country where Tesla has been less popular, like the South and Rust Belt.

Internet searches not sales.

iMiEV was built in Illinois, the factory shut down, sold to EV startup Rivian which claims to be making a BEV Pickup within 2 years so that might explain it.

I don't know why iMiEV would show up so much in NY though.

It looks like CNCDA made some changes to their website and the old PDF files are not accessible anymore. @RobStark, @schonelucht, do you have the CNCDA Model S/X numbers for Q2, Q3, Q4 2016? I'm trying to complete the California columns here. Thanks

Do we need a Canadian thread or can this be the North American thread?

Do we need a Canadian thread or can this be the North American thread?

I think Canada,Mexico, and sundry nations of North America news as they get added would be swallowed by US news and analysis so better to have another thread.
