true and the whole thing would not be interesting if it were not that sales tripled in 2012 and doubled again in 2013. Tesla expects their sales to double in 2014 from 20k to 40k. Once again this is a drop in the bucket. However, the trend and the rate of uptake bear watching.

The big thing comes in 2016 when Tesla promises to deliver a car for 30k that can go 250 miles per charge. That’s something only their 80k Tesla S class can do.

If Tesla delivers, then the electric car business takes off.
