Caresoft Global, an engineering firm in the Chicago area, has purchased several Model 3 cars from early owners and is selling data to Tesla’s competitors.
According to the WSJ, Caresoft takes CT scans of the Model 3 to create digital designs and virtual simulations of the Model 3 to understand it’s design and build.
I’ve been driving my Model 3 for over 3 weeks now, and on average I’ve stopped by about 3-5 public places (like supermarkets, stores, malls, parks, farmers market, etc) every day. I’m also on the local roads quite a bit as well. But one thing I’ve noticed is that there haven’t been as many people as I expected who recognize the Model 3. It’s only rarely will a person recognize that my car is a Model 3 and give it a second look. For example, one person next to me at a stop light took out his phone and took a quick pic of my phone. But this hasn’t been common.
