Sell parts to Chinese for reverse engineering.

  You realize that you can just buy a Tesla in China, right?

    Not to build a car, but to create knock-off parts.

      Their point is that if you wanted one to reverse engineer, you could just buy one and disassemble it

        There are companies specializing in doing this for just about every car and model ever released so for sure someone that wants to make a parts line would start from a legally obtained vehicle. It would make absolutely no sense for an otherwise legitimate business to start their whole development effort with an illegal act saving them at best $100K when the whole effort will likely run into the millions by the time it is all done.
