The number of Electric Vehicle (EV) sales is miniscule compared with liquid fueled cars and trucks.

...

For the last quarter I believe the Model 3 came in at number five. In terms of revenue I believe the Model 3 is number one since it is a more expensive car than the Corolla or Camry.

Four million vehicles were produced in the US by all makers combined in 2016. Tesla's persistently missed weekly output numbers promised by Elon Musk. The latest Model 3 number is 6000 per week, Tesla hasn't averaged above 5000, and even that lower number would work out to 260,000 per year. Forbes' estimate of the running total Model 3 production hasn't reached 100K yet (not per year, in history), and some of those sales canniabalized sales of the higher-end Tesla models. The promise of the lower priced Model 3 also hasn't been borne out. If I had the cash, I'd consider one after a couple of years of shakedown cruises by other people. I'd also get a towing package (or add one) so I could tow a low-profile gasoline-powered generator, for those long drives. :^)
