What's your guess.
If history is any indication, we'll see a big seasonal drop in sales.

http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-sales-fall-in-january-2015-for-first-time-in-2-years-in-us/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;...“We saw a significant increase in demand in December from Nissan LEAF customers looking to take advantage of federal and state incentives at the end of the tax year, which pulled some sales ahead. We’re confident that EV sales will continue to rise over time due to increasing emission regulations and other reasons for purchase of EVs such as lower operating costs, reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, environmental concerns and a great driving experience.” - Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure...

I agree. (Although I have the Aerovironment monthly package; which I use a LOT (I'm a terrible case for an EV.. ;-) )ObjetDart said:The cost benefit of quick charging was already dubious, but now with gas at $1.90/gallon around here it's a complete joke, especially compared to a high-mpg vehicle.

...Nissan Motor Co. recently launched new crossovers and SUVs that has helped it overtake Honda Motor Co. for fifth place in the sales pecking order, edging its Japanese rival out by sales of less than 2,000 vehicles last month. Its total sales were up 15% to 104,107 vehicles...
According to InsideEV, Tesla sold 1,100 Model S in January, as compared to 1,070 Leafs sold by Nissan. The additional sales are not really significant, but it is still surprising for many that Tesla has managed to attain more sales in the US by selling a premium EV targeted at a niche segment. Model S has a starting price of $71,000, while the new dual motor-powered version of the vehicle, called P85D, has a base price of above $100,000.

I think Nissan is going to have a hard time with the rep they have, history, etc and the lowering cost of used MS's out there.
:lol:lorenfb said:Still not a 'bright picture' for Tesla
Hmm ... I wouldn't go as far as that - given that the S number is guess with a bit of variation. It could be 1k or 900 or 1.2k - we don't know that well. And Tesla won't say.JasonA said:Just say what is really there.. the MS outsold the Leaf..

To be fair to Tesla, if I were only going to sell around 1000 cars, I'd rather those cars sell for $100,000 each rather than $30,000. ;-)evnow said:Hmm ...
