The problem with those sales charts is that they're complete BS. Lexus and BMW both made nearly 30k sales in NOV in the US, and Tesla has a habbit of counting "sales" rather than cars actually produced or delivered.

Fortunately for Tesla, anything they produce will be gobbled up by mindless fanatics like the next version of iBologna. Building hype is one thing they've done exceptionally well.

Your prayers will be answered in a couple of years, with a 400 mile range if you order the larger battery.

I'm a Pick up guy. No interest in cars at all. But I will be honest, the Tesla's are a marvel for a mass production EV. So much better than the alternatives from other mass production cars. They look great, they have good mileage, they are full of tech, and Elon is doing a good job at charging stations.
I still feel that "Iceing" the tesla stations is the same as the Gasser's blocking the diesel pumps, when there is 10 open gas pumps.

Around here the tweakers just cut the charge cords and scrap them. Don't think I have seen a charging station that had cords in a while now.

Then the next thing you know there are new laws passed to punish people for doing this and everyone screams, "overreach."

I would hope that there are already laws against vandalizing fueling stations of any kind.

But again, that's just my area...
Your area is not the only place, they do the same in Arizona. That's probably another reason the boys down south are doing that.
