I agree. They use a pretty bad (i.e. unreasonable) definition of luxury car market.

I live in Manhattan (so maybe Tesla is not big here), but in the last year I've only seen 2 Teslas on the road. By comparison, I see about 5-10 Audi A8's a day.

i haven't seen a good answer from tesla for apartment dwellers, or rented parking spaces. both of which are more endemic in NYC. to own your own property and own the parking spot so that you could install a charger is a lot.

For city dwellers, something like Zipcar combined with technology where you don't have to travel to pick the car up would be ideal.

But what fraction of those A8s were purchased in the last six months, when Tesla has been an option?
