If Tesla can't supply enough parts introducing a dealer layer won't make the parts magically appear.
It would add more overhead to the transaction and if history is any indicator, sleazy interactions and business practices thrown in as well.
I'm fairly confident once the dust settles Tesla owners will be happy to not have auto dealers in their lives. There's just a teething period while Tesla ramps up to a mature manufacturer at scale.
