Again, Spot On -- A Tesla Update; Outselling Porsche, Jaguar In California; Year-To-Date Has Also Outsold Buick, Ford Lincoln In California

On August 7, 2013, I posted my story that Tesla knew its target audience, and GM would follow.

Today, the numbers out of California validate/confirm that view. CNBC is reporting: Tesla is outselling Porsche and 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 outsold Fiat (Milan Stock Exchange: F-IT) (3,898), Buick(4,675), and Mitsubishi (2,939) this year in California.

Very, very interesting.
