Koenigsegg has, according to their Wikipedia page, sold on the order of a couple hundred cars total. Tesla sold 76,000 cars in 2016.[1] By comparison, in 2016, Mercedes S-class sedans sold about 18,000 in the US [2] and another 15,000 in Europe.[3] By number sold, Teslas are rarer than, say, an F150 (87,512 in Dec '16 alone!) or a Camry but they are actually more common, by a few thousand, than an S-class.

I know that's not an absolutely fair comparison, since I can't take into account parts commonality between models or model years with a Google search, but still - they're not nearly as rare as I expected. Tesla is going to need to work on their repair infrastructure a lot.
