The cost information contained in the analysis study uses the Munro Quick Cost Estimates system, a proprietary methodology of Munro & Associates. The Quick Cost estimate has an accuracy of +/- 8%.
Costs are evaluated and analyzed at Munro’s costing center in Michigan, USA. Component costs are calculated, for each OEM and supplier, based on a breakdown of cost criteria such as materials, fabrication process flow, labor costs, plant and building costs, quality responsiveness costs, taxes, and SG&A (Selling, General and Administrative) expenses.
The Munro teardown analysis cost estimates reflect the theoretically accurate (should be) costs, rather than the actual costs (pricing) that may be determined by negotiations between an OEM’s purchasing department and a parts supplier.

The FFQ report thoroughly evaluates the mating areas (flushness) of all part surfaces, as well as operating forces, weights, and all gap dimensions.
The purpose of the FFQ report is to analytically document a new buyer, “first time” experience, including what they see, hear, feel, and their overall impression of the vehicle.
Although the FFQ evaluation is based on a thorough investigation of an actual Telsa Model 3 vehicle, the assessment was conducted offline, and not on the actual Tesla assembly line.
The FFQ report is a comprehensive 241 page report of detailed information.
