Our new report on US exports of Tesla Model S electric cars provides a month-by-month count of how many vehicles shipped and their destinations January through December 2014.<\/p>\n

[May 12, 2015: Datamyne has refined its methodology for tracking Tesla exports since this first issue of our report. Learn why and what\u2019s changed in <\/em>Tuned-up: Tesla Model S Export Data Tracking<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. \u2013Datamyne \u00a0Blog editor.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Based on Datamyne US import-export bill of lading data, the Tesla trade data tracks the electric car maker\u2019s activities in markets around the world.<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s top export countries, as revealed by the data, aren\u2019t surprising. China is by far its largest market.<\/p>\n

Second-ranked Netherlands and fifth-ranked Norway, though relatively small countries, are big buyers of electric vehicles, with battery cars accounting for more than 3% of auto sales in the Netherlands and 13% in Norway last year, according to Hybridcars.<\/p>\n

At Numbers 3 and 4, respectively, Hong Kong\u2019s and Australia\u2019s entry into the top ranks is based largely (in Australia\u2019s case, exclusively) on shipments in the fourth-quarter, the period Tesla targeted for entry into these markets.<\/p>\n

Tesla watchers tracking the trade data would have been able to follow the shift in deliveries to these new markets … and away from China.<\/p>\n

Indeed, investors might have been spared the shock\u00a0following comments from CEO Elon Musk about the company’s sluggish sales in China, which triggered a one-day 6% stock price drop in mid-January, by looking at monthly shipments to China. While China is the biggest market for cars in the world and a focus of Tesla sales efforts, China was the top export market for Tesla from April to August and then again in October before falling to second place in November and third place in December.<\/p>\n
