"Tesla Pressures the Three Marys" 3rd Edition

The Swiss EV market reached the 501 units last month, the eighth time in a row that it stayed above the 500 units/month, tripling sales regarding the same month last year.

The EV Share stayed at a record 1,95%, up from 0.75% last year, placing the Swiss market as the Sixth highest EV share in the world.

The Tesla Model S sales continue smoking hot, selling 120 units last month and counting 1.269 sales this year, it is already casting a shadow to its real competitors: 

In October the Model S (120 sales) was the Second Best Selling model of its class, behind the Audi A6 (150 units) and ahead of the BMW 5-Series (117) and Mercedes E-Class (105);

- In YTD sales, it is now closer to the #3 Mercedes E-Class (1.333 units), just 64 units ahead, so it is still possible to beat the Merc in the race for Number Three in the E-Segment.

In the EV ranking and behind the stratospheric Model S, the BMW i3 and the VW Golf GTE are in a close race for Second Place.

The Nissan Leaf registered only four units, its worst result since February and dropped two positions, this is another market where the 30KWh version should give a big push in sales.

In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla comfortably leads with 25%, while in the race for Second Place, Volkswagen (16%) distanced itself from BMW (14%, down 1%), with Renault in Fourth, with 10% share.
