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.
