Tesla Model 3s bought by firm selling Tesla’s secrets: report

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,”

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.
