Thank you MM. I appreciate
Thank you MM. I appreciate that catch. I have edited the story to correctly say "Monthly" run rate where I mistakenly said "Yearly." - - You're right that the Leaf grew in overall sales year-on-year from 2012 to 2013. This after the 2011 and 2012 sales were almost exactly the same at about 10K units. However, the monthly sales have been pretty consistent since about September of 2012. In Q4 of 2012 the Leaf sold about 1550 units each month, then sales dropped like a stone in Q1 of 2013 for that model. Combined the Leaf, Volt, and Model S have been relatively flat since that period. Cars in general grew 7% last year. - - I do think that will soon change and these three will all grow in 2014. The price cuts and incentives are just too much to pass up. The direct tax subsidies to a California buyer for a base Leaf are almost 50% now ($10K on a car costing about $21K). - - Q4 of this past year looked great, and had Tesla not sold so many Model S cars form its production in Q4 to markets outside the US I think it would have been fair to say that the uptick already started. Thanks for reading and commenting. When the three leading EVs sales go up, I will report it accurately.
