Tesla Model S deliveries

499,550 Tesla Sales In 2020 (CleanTechnica Charts)

“Troy Teslike” obsessively tracks Tesla registration data. He has a superb history when it comes to Tesla sales estimates (delivery estimates) at the end of each quarter.

For now, though, he has shared his 2020 Tesla delivery estimates and I will dig into them to highlight the points that stand out to me, as well as create a couple of charts based on these figures.
