Manuals are one thing, but if a part is dead and Tesla won't sell you one, what do you do? Buy whole cars and part them out? Even then you have to convince your above average income customers used parts are good enough for your $50,000+ car. You also end up with piles of the parts that seldom break and backlog of the common problems just like the authorized repair shops.
At some point knock off Chinese parts will be made but I bet that takes a lot more cars off warranty.
