Ha! Good Guess, brother!
http://insideevs.com/nissan-crushes-sales-record-leaf-may/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Nissan blew the doors off all pure electric sales records in May, notching more than 3,000 LEAFs sold…the first time that number has ever been eclipsed for a pure electric vehicle...
In total 3,117 were sold...
“LEAF hit two major milestones in May with 50,000 total U.S. sales since launch and more than 3,100 total deliveries in a month,” said Toby Perry, Marketing Director and Overseas Program Director, Nissan LEAF. “LEAF is poised to take advantage of a market ripe for higher EV sales thanks to a great value proposition, an engaged base of owner-advocates, rapid increases in charging infrastructure in major markets across the country and new tax credits in Texas and other states.”
Surprisingly, Nissan’s Smyrna, TN assembly facility was also able to keep pace with LEAF production during May as national inventories actually rose slightly by months end...
Chevrolet Volt sales continued an upward trend in May, as 1,684 were sold during the month. Sales have increased for the extended range Chevy in every month so far in 2014.
That result was 9% better than the 1,548 sold last month, and 5% better than the 1,607 sold in May of 2013.
Despite the upward growth trend for 2014, sales still lag last year as 6,838 Volts have been sold so far this year. Which is down 4.5% from 2013 when 7,157 were moved.
As expected, GM continued to produce more inventory of the Volt than there was sales in May (up to about 120 days worth)...

Wait time for a Tesla seems to be creeping up. I would not worry about Tesla until they have a 45+ day supply in showrooms.lorenfb said:Have Tesla sales 'maxed'? Will they even be close to 2013's?

Of course wait time for USA sales might be extended as more are sent to world markets.
Zythryn said:As for running out of buyers,the luxury market in just the US is 1,000,000/year. I don't expect them to run out anytime soon. The wait list is currently backed up to September.

That number is a little skewed because it includes $35k cars as well. How many cars sold in the US are over $60k ?
Not really. Need to add up all the premium cars (all car sales data in the US is available).Zythryn said:Tough to find data on that.
Large and mid-sized luxury cars add up to about 500,000. Even if is 300,000, the point is Tesla isn't close to running out of buyers in that price range.
