And here they are grouped by model:

BMW is in sixth place currently.

That's really informative but to me that's a little misleading since they are counting the Volt and other plug-in hybrids as electric cars when in reality they are burning gas.

Tesla has taken such a beating in the press about the Model 3 which is really misleading I guess when you look at these charts.. the Model 3 has stomped everything else on the market very quickly.

Have you had the chance to drive one yet, just out of curiosity? It's worth the effort if there is a store nearby you and you have any interest in manifestation of the product itself!

At least a plug-in hybrid doesn't necessarily burn gas. It could run 100% electric.
