In the manufacturers ranking, Tesla (28%, up 1%) is comfortable in the leadership, while Chevrolet (18%) is doing a good job at keeping Ford (17%) at bay.
On a side note, 371 Toyota Mirai's and 2 Hyundai Tucson FCEV were registered, surprising numbers for the Toyota, that obliterated past performances and pushed the FCEV market share to a record 0.02% in August and 0.01% YTD..

The Model S has made it to the silver medal in August, surpassing the BMW 5-Series, with only the new Mercedes E-Class separating the Californian from the leadership, something that eventually might happen in September.
The Tesla Model S has probably peaked its sales by now, running tyre-to-tyre with the best sellers of its class and leaving its newest relatives (Model X and upcoming Model 3) an impressive model to follow.

The Model X has a tougher job than the Model S, not only it has a larger (And more dynamic) number of competitors, but because of the SUV-Craze, they are selling faster than their sedan relatives, in August the Model X arrived in #7, waiting for a more streamlined production in order to reach a podium position.
