Service is a bigger source of profits for dealers than new car sales but if is important to remember that outside of Tesla - dealerships aren't owned by the manufacturer.

I can flat out say that we do no design cars to fail so dealers can make money on service. The less a customer has to interact with a dealer the better for the manufacturer.

We also make vehicles to be as easy to service as reasonably possible.
