Where is Second Measure getting their data from? Is it statistically valid? They say they analyze "billions of anonymized purchases" which suggests some sort of credit card or bank account scraping.[1] Like the sort of thing those budget management apps do. But... given how small the Model 3 customer base is and how affluent they are, how likely are they to participate in such schemes?
Or are they buying wholesale aggregate data from credit card companies? Can they do that?

Not sure about Second Measure specifically, but many credit card players sell anonymized purchasing data. Investors often look at this to predict how companies are performing.
