US Market Situation and Outlook (Rob Stark's American Megathread)

[schonelucht]

Just sourced some numbers on this in the q2-q3 projection thread. Based on known sales in April and May from the different vendors, this graphic implies Tesla delivered around 5000 Model 3s in April and around 6000 in May with a margin of error on the sum of less than 1000 units.

Edit : @Troy did that work better than I did. His results agree with mine. Monthly Model 3 production numbers calculated from the market share chart in the shareholder meeting • r/teslamotors

The Electrification Coalition, a nonprofit group of business leaders seeking to facilitate the deployment of EVs on a mass scale, ranked states based on an assessment of how they provide consumer incentives for purchasing EVs, make refueling infrastructure available and educate the public about the alternative drivetrains.

BTW Tesla does not give a release to State DMVs to allow JD Power access Tesla customer's addresses. Ergo Tesla owners never get JD Power surveys. Therefore Tesla is not included.

FOTW #1033, June 11, 2018: Washington State Has the Greatest Fuel Cost Savings for an Electric Vehicle Versus a Gasoline Vehicle

The chart is interesting but since it is based on average prices it will significantly understate the savings in places like California where rates at night -- when charging is typically done -- are much lower than average rates.

"Note: The eGallon tool uses average state or regional gasoline prices and average retail utility electricity prices. Home based solar installations are not considered. Savings are for May 19, 2018."​

Dammit, Tesla needs those North Dakota Superchargers. Seems like a Tesla has a very good value proposition in North Dakota (this seems to be due to cheap electricity and not-particularly-cheap gasoline).

@RobStark

Can you show us which states still don't allow Tesla Stores? Or give us a summary? My count <26 states allow Tesla Stores. Can this be true?? (NOT Gallery, but only Stores)

And yet, Tesla may have wider exposure than the Chevy Bolt?

thanks Rob

Syracuse is the correct Service Center location (look at the highway maps)

I thought the E-Class and so on were the mid-sized cars?

I thought the E-Class and so on were the mid-sized cars?

They are.

Model 3 is compact in length, full size in width which yields a midsize interior.

In length and in price Model 3 competes directly with 3 Series, C Class, A4 and IS. Interior volume with 5 Series, E Class, A6, and GS

I guess Tesla doesn't want to label that chart Compact Premium Sedans so as not to imply to potential buyers that Model 3 has a compact interior.
