Horribly misleading headline. What's actually happening is that the Model S is outselling what they've decided is the roughly equivalent models from these companies, not that Tesla is selling more cars of all kinds. Still very good, which makes me wonder why they needed to exaggerate....


You've rather answered your own question: horribly intentional headlines are the bread and butter of pageview based businesses.


also for pump-n-dump schemes.


Indeed. The recent glut of fawning articles about tesla does seem mightily suspicious to my increasingly tinfoil-coated mind...

Simply tesla's PR people earning their keep? Anyone care to speculate?


So I guess the difference lies in the more "affordable" models by Mercedes/BMW/Audi, like the Benz C class, BMW 1 and 3 series, and Audi A4. These are probably the best selling models for these companies, which makes this article even more senseless.


Or as one might also misunderstand: Mercedes, BMW and Audi combined.


That's the reason I flagged the submission
