Global Sales In January 2019: Over 150,000 At 1.9% Market Share


This is truely impressive and much faster than hybrids grew. Think of this as 2006 in terms of hybrids - when only toyota, honda, and ford were selling volume. Part of it is the US and China have incubated the technology while in hybrids it was mainly Japan with lukewarm response of the US. In 2006 the gen II prius sold 185,600 units world wide which was over 4x what the gen I and II sold in 2003.

A few pre-production I-Paces and journalist boondoggle to Portugal led to a lot of glowing reports. So January, 210 I-Pace were sold per InSideEVs, less than 1/4th of one day's production at Tesla.

Even now, the Tesla SHORT-sellers are claiming the market is saturated so Tesla had to send their cars to Europe and Asia. So how much market will be left after Tesla and the I-Pace?
