That's not true in Massachusetts. There, Tesla does provide access to repair information, at an exorbitant price, because Massachusetts has a "right to repair" law on the books that requires automakers to make repair information available to independent mechanics.
We need that same law at the Federal level, except with some more teeth so that the repair info isn't locked behind a ridiculous price tag. If I were dictator, I'd make a law requiring all repair info for major products to be freely available. Companies used to do this several decades ago, and it was much better for the consumer, and didn't have any adverse affect on the companies (except that they couldn't make extra profit by monopolizing repair, but that's not "adverse" any more than it's "adverse" that I'm not legally allowed to own slaves).
