It doesn't matter, the industry as a whole has marketed cars as repairable (mostly indirect marketing). They had to 100 years ago and it stuck.

Tesla doesn't have a choice as the precident is already set in law

Meh, that legal precedent is pretty weak. They have to sell you parts for 10 years and are held to some basic standard of warranty.

It’s 100% legal to make it a complete PITA to repair a car both in the cost of labor and parts. Italian exotics have been doing it for decades.

Ah yes, prioritizing important features like crashing into things at high speed, remotely making the car a brick if it gets written off, writing an unnecessary amount of data to flash until it wears out, misaligned panels. Just what are people actually paying for here? A shit experience?

My comment wasn’t an invitation to shit on Tesla. They make a product that’s different than other products. Some things people like, some things people don’t. The same applies to anything ever made. Nobody has ever made a perfect product for everyone.

I drive a Toyota, but I know why people drive Teslas. I’m not them. They’re not me.

I wish unrepairable expensive products are correctly labelled.

I wish so too, but I certainly wouldn’t market my own products/services by highlighting their shortcomings.

Regulation or third-party analysis is the only real way to solve that problem.
