400 cars per week is 20,800 in a year. That is nearly twice as many as GM made Chevy Corvettes in 2012, just as an interesting perspective. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette#Production

Though the cachet vector is different, the cachet magnitude is about the same, and many other kinds of utility are greater in the Model S.

In retrospect, that would've sounded like a compelling but seemingly too good to be true pitch in the pre-Tesla years.

Toyota sells over 900k Priuses each year, 1.2M Corollas, nearly 10M automobiles in total.
