Driving data can be a valuable to Wall Street

From Bloomberg’s Gabrielle Coppola and David Welch:

Many of the potential data buyers Otonomo has signed are the same ones the automakers talk about: insurance companies, mechanics, gas stations, city planners, fast-food joints. But Wall Street is also on the list of prospective clients.

A few examples: Hedge funds probing the health of the economy want anonymized trunk sensor data to see if you bought anything when you went to the mall, which is a more accurate proxy for consumer sentiment than the satellite photos used today. Banks may want to know if you stopped driving to work, since the loss of jobs in aggregate could mean an imminent downturn. Credit card companies might want to offer you a loan if they know your car broke down.

It’s interesting to think about the potential for Tesla to accrue massive amounts of driving data and what that means in terms of potential opportunities.  Driving data can also include terabytes of video footage that is analyzed and processed by AI to give helpful insights for various people and business.

In this post, I’m going to cover:

Calibred Customs comes in at the higher end, $300.




A couple weeks ago I shared about a Custom wireless charging pad for Tesla Model 3 to debut in April.  The price for that is $100.  But now there’s a cheaper way to add wireless phone charging to your Model 3.

Thanks to Greg C who posted in the Facebook TESLA MODEL 3 Owners Club, adding wireless charging is as simple as wording a $20 wireless charger from Amazon.  Greg purchased this Ultra-thin Qi Wireless charger from Amazon.  It’s super thin at 3.49mm.

Then he simply removed the rubber cover from the Tesla charging pad, and connected the Qi wireless charger to the Model 3 usb charging port.

After that, he put back the rubber cover over the charging pad.

And there you have it.  Your own Model 3 wireless charging pad for $20 (or $40 for two chargers).
