Model S to become most popular high-end sedan soon, says Forbes

A report by Forbes is predicting the success of Tesla's Model S.

According to this report, Model S is becoming the number one luxury sedan in the world, beating out BMW 7-Series and Audi A8.

“In the first nine months of 2015, Tesla Model S sales of 10,600 in Western Europe exceeded the outgoing BMW 7 Series with 2,650 and the soon to be replaced Audi A8 limousine with 4,700. The Model S was only 800 sales short of the Mercedes S class, compared with a shortfall of 6,200 in the same period last year.”

The sedan world was previously dominated by Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.

Model S' success can be attributed to the fact that it broke the Consumer Reports' rating system.
