Tesla’s competitors want to know the secrets of the company’s Model 3 entry-level electric sedan, and they’re willing to pay more than $500,000 for them.
That’s according to a new report saying a Chicago-area engineering company has bought several Model 3s for about $100,000 each, from third parties.
Caresoft Global is pulling the cars apart, doing high-tech imaging scans and “selling data and technical insights to Tesla competitors — for upward of $500,000,” the Wall Street Journal reported Jan. 30.
“A shortage of Model 3 sedans has created a frenzy among curious competitors, Tesla enthusiasts and auto reviewers to get their hands on the electric car,” the WSJ reported .
Along with tearing down Model 3s — which Caresoft purchased from early buyers for about $100,000 each — the engineering takes CT scans to make digital designs so companies buying the designs can do virtual simulations to gain insights into the Model 3
“After a day of meetings with auto executives, Caresoft chief executive Mathew Vachaparampil recapped at a hotel bar in Detroit the reception he received from leaders trying to figure out the magic behind the Model 3.
“He said 10 auto makers are customers.”
They are all still trying to figure it all out !!!!
