Agreed. Truthfully, I think everyone gets way too worked up about very small data points/variance, but that's ok - people are free to draw whatever conclusions they like, (=

I probably shouldn't have said "wrong", they report it differently, they track registrations at their end - which is not how automotive sales are reported by the OEMs (and especially Tesla). The gov't (and by extension Polk) track the numbers when the car is registered...so for Tesla, who has a...

Just to tag this, and why the Polk data doesn't work (besides having to wait 3 months for it and the data being incredibly stale -and they still note it is an estimate themselves), is that the government reporting system of the registration at their end lags the actual sales dates...and they...

The sample size is still pretty small, but it seems like BEVs are more insulated over PHEVs from the demand generated (or diminished) by the current price of gas. Personal thought only: I assume this is because PHEVs owners (and would-be buyers) are still making trips to the station regularly...

Not to get into the "what's going on with the Tesla estimate" at InsideEVs too much, but we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to come up with a real-world/realistic estimation of monthly sales for Tesla. We in no way look at the company worldwide quarterly estimates at all to arrive...

Heeh, that was one of the first questions when he came on...and no he is not related, (=

We picked up the data a little ahead of the industry release today. September - 2,881 Nissan LEAF US Sales Continue To Surge In September http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-us-sales-september-2014/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...19th consecutive record month (sidenote: I...

I think perhaps you read something wrong? Perhaps it was the inventory level? Nissan did set a record though in August - 3,186 sold Nissan LEAF Sets All Time EV Sales Record For August In US http://insideevs.com/nissan-leaf-august-2014-us-sales-set-record/"...

Yupe, that is it exactly. The DNS TTL refresh (so people get to the right spot) can take upwards of 24 hours to complete. We kept the 'old' site live as well over the last two days. Which is why a few people still got the 'old and busted' Everyone should be pointed at the new one now. The...

Just as an update. Finally pinpointed the issue. We originally though we perhaps were hacked, took the site down/reloaded content/templates a couple times - not it. Then we though perhaps there was some bad ad code - not it. In the end it was actually at the server host level and redirects...

This is a new (and funnier) varient I guess. This one actually first popped up last (week) Friday apparently I am told. Its a tuffie...not one we have been able to quash as of yet despite throwing a ton of resources at it (and 2 separate IT teams) Jay

No it is still available. That is an option chart on the dark interior, so the light interior is the standard by default. Jay

Its definitely not registration based, and Hybrid Cars doesn't track the data/ins and outs of the weekly and monthly trends at Tesla themselves. They acquire their data third party -Autodata. Normally, it is an awesome compiling of data, but falls apart when it comes to estimates on Tesla...

Oh yeah, guess I should have rounded out the list as Ford as gotten around to putting out the numbers Ford C-Max Energi: 827 Ford Fusion Energi: 791 Ford Focus EV: 158 Also, Porsche sold 47 Panamera S-E Hybrids ...think that about does it until next month, (=

...just my slip up there, after Nissan and Tesla of course, I was just thinking about the fringe players and somehow let the Model S slip by, lol And yes, we do track Canada as well: 28 LEAFs sold in December, 470 for the year. 2014s are expected in early February at dealers. For 2013...
