WhatA marketplace and documentation platform that sources ECUs, wiring harnesses, and electronic modules from crashed EVs, tests them, and sells them to security researchers, hobbyists, and repair shops with full pinout documentation.
SignalThere is a growing community of technically skilled people who want to work with EV electronics outside the vehicle — for security research, tinkering, or repair — but sourcing the right parts, connectors, and documentation is a painful scavenger hunt across eBay, Tesla service manuals, and forums.
Why NowThe first massive wave of Teslas (2017-2020 Model 3s) are now aging into crashes, insurance write-offs, and salvage yards, creating unprecedented supply of sophisticated EV electronic components, while Tesla's own bug bounty program actively encourages bench-level security research.
MarketSecurity researchers, automotive hackers, EV repair shops, and vocational schools; adjacent to the $1.5B+ auto salvage parts market, with EV-specific electronics as an underserved niche; current competitors are generic salvage yards with zero documentation or testing.
MoatProprietary testing procedures and compatibility databases for EV electronic modules — knowing which firmware versions work with which harnesses and what minimum components are needed to boot an ECU is hard-won knowledge that compounds over time.
