While BMW sold 3,634 units of the 7 Series and Mercedes sold 3,138 units of the S-Class, Tesla managed to sell 9,156 units of its Model S. Tesla then went on to point out that "Our Q3 delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct,”

 

Worldwide sales of the Model S during that period amounted to 15,800 cars, while the Model X SUV, also posted an impressive Q3 result, with 8,700 cars sold.

 

Three years after Tesla started, production has increased five times to 100,000 units. And with the upcoming entry-level Model 3 hitting the market soon, Tesla's future looks promising.

I believed it is an unfair comparison. Apples should be compared to apples while oranges to oranges.

 

Secondly, they are on a different platform. Otherwise why do we have separate races for formula One, gas driven and the other electric driven.

 

Tesla has a novelty factor too.

    I recently went on a media trip with XPENG, a brand that makes some pretty nice EVs, but they were also put in the spotlight recently when the video of their robot, IRON, went viral. The humanoid robot walked on stage in such a convincing manner that prompted everyone to wonder if it was actually a human in a suit. Now, I managed to get a closer look at the robot, and although it was a static display, it looked intricate and pretty interesting. We then attended a workshop where t

    Listening to music while working: Does it actually help?

    It’s likely a common sight in every office you set foot in: Workers with their heads buried in their desktops/laptops, earbuds dutifully plugged in (or headphones chucked on). Having a tune to go into battle alongside you against anything that happens at work seems to be as essential as having a caffeinated drink perched on the table, it seems. Thus also arises the question, however: Does a symphony of melodies really serve as the secret ingredient to unlocking peak productivity? The debate

    10 terrible wedding songs

    A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist. Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content.
