Tesla Model 3 has outsold premium competitors since 2018

On that note, it seems that while Tesla is seeing success with the Model 3, it's seeing a decrease in sales for the Model X and Model S. Which could be an opportunity for Porsche.

According to insideevs.com

In May 2019, Tesla sold in the U.S. some 16,350 electric cars (InsideEVs’ estimation), which is 82% more than a year earlier!

There is no sign of a demand problem for the brand, but as we can see on particular models, the S and X are experiencing decrease (especially the S), while the Model 3 more than doubles:

Tesla Model 3 – 13,950 (up 133%, 46,425 YTD, up 159%)
Tesla Model X – 1,375 (down 5%, 6,275 YTD, down 10%)
Tesla Model S – 1,025 (down 33%, 5,475 YTD, down 32%)

It’s hard to tell how accurate the figures are at this time. I called my local Tesla dealership about a Model 3 last Friday and he said he could have one for me with any chosen color within 2 weeks. Seems a far cry from all the backorders taken originally. In my opinion any Porsche is going to be a higher quality auto than a Tesla and I for one don’t want to see dozens like mine on the street every day. I believe when folks find out the price premium dealerships are going to add on first year models a lot of folks will back out of the deposit program. It’s one thing to buy a bare bones Porsche but another with their pricing on accessories/add ones.
