How much do you think the industry has grown since 2013? How much do you think it will grow by 2018? Even if each one is a doubling, Tesla's part is pretty significant.

It's tough to get hard data but a 20-30% CAGR from 2013 to the present time seems like a reasonable guess.

Sounds reasonable to me as well. I won't claim to have great numbers, just trying to compare the rough magnitudes.
