Tesla Model S vs The Others
Pl | Model | YTD 2016 |
1 | BMW 5-Series | 17.428 |
2 | Mercedes E-Class | 16.155 |
3 | Tesla Model S | 7.805 |
4 | Audi A6 | 6.638 |
5 | Cadillac CTS | 6.390 |
The Model S continues in Third, behind the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5-Series sales champs, while the rest of the competition is behind the Californian.
An interesting stat is that the Model S is the only model growing in the ranking, while the other models are being slaughtered by the SUV-craze, with drops between 18% (Audi A6) and 40% (Cadillac CTS)...

Tesla Model X vs The Others
Pl | Model | May 2016 |
1 | BMW X5 | 4.372 |
2 | Mercedes GLE | 4.003 |
3 | Mercedes GLS | 3.358 |
4 | Audi Q7 | 2.663 |
Tesla Model X | 1.600 |
The Model X has a tough job ahead, not only by the large number of competitors, but also because they are selling faster than their sedan relatives, in May the Model X was the Seventh Best Selling model of its class, but looking at the half full glass, it already outsold some highly regarded competition, like the LR Range Rover (1.044 units), LR Range Rover Sport (1.563 units) or even the Porsche Cayenne (1.293).
