My revised was off by 20 for the Q2 sales number.  Raising Q4 a little for Tesla as I think they will send some extra cars to sales centers to sell as new off the lot cars late in 2014.  Mostly in the US for people wanting to get one for the 2014 tax credit.  And who wants to wait, really...  Buying off the lot is how we do things in America.

Revising down Q3 due to slow run of the line in August after restart, August 4.

Updated estimates...12/03/2014 - due to line problems with P85D first-runs

2015 - ModelS 41600  ModelX 10300

Volt US sales estimates for 2014.... 24600
Leaf US sales estimates for 2014 .... 27000. --- as of August, looks like 30,000 is possible.

Those are for year over year growth.  Let's review next January.
