If the alternative is waiting over a month for a service appointment I think a lot of people would be willing do do a home repair.

I know a few Tesla owners (I'm not one myself). The Tesla's a fun car for them, and a daily driver for one of them, but in no case their only car.

None of them has any interest in doing their own repairs, and never will.

More than that, if you could buy Tesla parts and service Teslas yourself, people who didn't want to do a home repair could still go to a local repairman who wasn't booked solid for a month.
