I don't know if people noticed this article, so I'm posting it here.
Rather impressive, in my opinion.

We can’t let Europe and China have all the fun—EV sales in North
America’s EV capital, California, are finally taking off. According to
the California New Car Dealers Association, some 53,261 plug-in vehicles
were sold in the Golden State in the first quarter of 2021, representing
10.8% of the total auto market.
The pandemic was plainly a catalyzing event for plug-in sales: the share
of EVs hit an all-time high as overall light-vehicle sales declined by
2.9%.
Pure EVs took an 8.1% share of the market (also a new record), and
hybrids took 9.8%. The total share of electrified vehicles (EVs, PHEVs
and hybrids) was a whopping 20.6%.
Tesla had a particularly powerful quarter, increasing its sales by 12.5%
year-over-year. Its two newest models both topped their sales segments:
Model Y was the #1 seller in the Luxury Compact SUV segment; Model 3 was
#1 in the Near Luxury segment; and Model S was #4 in Luxury and High End
Sports Cars. The Telsa Model Y, with 13,786 sales, was the third
best-seller among all light vehicles (yes, including pickup trucks),
behind only Toyota’s RAV4 (17,266 sales) and Camry (15,526).
According to CNCDA’s data, Tesla had a 5.3% share of the total
California market in Q1, and an impressive 1.7% share of the total US
market.
