California has always led the way where innovation or adopting anything is concerned. Just as fashion works its way East from the Pacific, so too the adaptation of new means of transport like electric care migrates West to East. This news that Tesla has actually outsold luxury brands Porsche, Volvo, Lincoln, Land Rover and Jaguar, is probably surprising only for people East of the Rockies. The California New Car Dealers Association reports vehicle registrations in the first half of this year showing 4,714 new Teslas registered. While other luxury brands lag far behind, the world’s most advanced luxury alternative energy vehicles are selling like those proverbial hotcakes.
