Model S fires could be compared to Nissan Leaf fires, as they're both electric cars. Although Leaf is sold massively more than the Model S (Leaf is the most produced electric car in history).


Where are you getting your numbers from? The volt sold more than the leaf in 2012 by almost double. At best the leaf sells about 1500 a month. The model S is well over 3k a month as well. so I would like to see your sources on the matter.


Tesla sold 5.5k cars the last quarter. That's not 3k/month.

The leaf sold 6375 during the same period (us only).

I think Teslas number was global sales. But still Leaf out sold teslas the last quarter in the US.

Where did you get your numbers from?


First, 5500 is the total cars delivered not sold. looking for my source on total cars sold that quarter.


Wikipedia[1]. I meant an all-electric car. Chevrolet Volt is a hybrid car. Model S only has about 20k sales.
