USA January 2013

Tesla Model S dashboard -  It reminds me of a Apple/IKEA mash up... 

Despite a sharp decline (41%) regarding last December, truth is that at 4.593 units sold, January represented a three fold surge over '12 January, a sign that we should see a 100K plus market in the year end.

Tesla shot up to #1 with at least 1.200 sales, taking advantage of their competitors shortage of stock (Volt, Leaf), or bad months (C-Max, Prius).

Nevertheless, only the Nissan Leaf sold less than the year before, with every other model increasing significantly their sales.

With an enormous waiting list, it's looks that Tesla will become the expected surprise of the year, even if it won't repeat last months feat.
