Tesla outsells Porsche, Jaguar in California
Yes, it's a small share of the California car market, but Tesla Motors sales in the Golden State are supercharging.
In fact, sales of Elon Musk's electric car have surpassed Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, and Lincoln, according to new figures from the California New Car Dealers Association.
Year-to-date, the luxury carmaker has sold 4,714 cars in California, versus 4,586 for Porsche, 1,254 for Jaguar, 2,982 for Volvo, 4,022 for Land Rover, and 2,230 for Lincoln.
Tesla also has outsold Fiat (3,898), Buick (4,675), and Mitsubishi (2,939) this year in California.

It will be interesting if this becomes a trend.
