Repair parts for what? Who will purchase these?

All the people who have been waiting for months+ for a body shop to find Tesla-approved replacement parts, presumably.

Presumably, the same wholesalers/auto parts trading places I've seen in third-world countries with suspiciously sourced grey market Toyota Land Cruiser/Lexus repair parts.

Or people who want $20,000 worth of 100kWh 18650 battery conveniently packaged with connectors and cooling system.
