Critically, the Tesla sedan did not have a driver onboard when these photos were taken. The Tesla Model 3 sedan is finished in white and includes a GM vehicle inventory barcode on the rear bumper, as well as Michigan manufacturer license plates. These photos were captured near a GM testing facility. In the case of the Model 3, GM Authority reports that it was spotted testing the Smart Summon feature: Both Tesla vehicles were spotted near GM testing facilities in Michigan. Now in the space of just a few days, GM has been spotted benchmarking both the Tesla Model S Plaid and the Model 3 – via GM Authority. GM hasn’t been spotted benchmarking Tesla vehicles as much, but it has certainly been involved in similar tactics.īack in 2019, Steve Carlisle, who at the time was the head of the Cadillac brand and now is in charge of the North American market for GM, said that the company was ‘obsessively’ benchmarking Tesla. Tesla vehicles have also made their way to Michigan to be tested by “the big 3,” or what used to be known as “the big 3.” In 2016, Ford paid a $55,000 premium to buy one of the first Tesla Model Xs and benchmark it. Mercedes-Benz famously benchmarked and dismantled a Tesla Model X in the weirdest way ahead of launching its own electric SUV. Porsche was often spotted benchmarking Tesla’s vehicles.
Benchmarking involves acquiring a Tesla vehicle and either dismantling it to inspect and learn from its sub-system or testing it on the road to benchmark the performance. Tesla has had a lead in electric vehicles for a long time, which made its vehicles popular for other automakers to benchmark as they develop their own EV programs. The latter appeared to be in order to test Tesla’s Summon feature. GM has been spotted benchmarking a Tesla Model S Plaid and Model 3.
