The car has an 8.4% market share according to "Electric Coalition", as reported by Motley Fool (and linked through AutoBlog) - for the first half of 2013. How's that for qualifiers?

One in twelve may not seem like a huge number until you consider that what it means is that Tesla is outselling models like the Audi A8 (base MSRP: $72,200), BMW 7 Series ($73,600) and Mercedes S-Class ($92,350). So, while it remains to be seen whether Tesla chief Elon Musk can make good on bringing the brand down-sector by introducing the long-talked-about $30,000 Tesla, the California-based automaker is certainly making its name among the jewelry-rattlers.

Same here. Sometimes more than one a day. Though I noticed there's a Tesla repair facility in Rockville so I'm guessing that has something to do with it.

I have a Bently / Rolls Royce repair facility that I walk past twice a day so I see lots of these pricey machines.
I don't think their popularity has increased though.
