Same thing with Apple devices; locked down, no user-serviceable parts, replacement parts not sold to consumers...worked out pretty well for them. Most people just don't care and want the New Shiny more, and that's enough to persuade them.

We know Tesla plans to sell to the full mass market (Toyota price point) eventually, so they're going to need to allow for long term maintenance and independent repair shops at some point.
