Tesla provides that (and more) for free:
• Service Manual, Parts Manual, and Body Repair
• Tooling Catalog and Wiring Diagrams
• Service Bulletins
• Labor Codes and Times
• Service Mode Diagnostic Software (on the touchscreen)
- mozman 3y agoDoes Tesla sell parts? If so, do you need a Tesla tool to program/activate them? Electronics fail more often than mechanical parts and even today with independent auto shops having access to manufacturers programming software you still have to go to the dealer for some things
- starbase 3y agoYeah they sell parts at service centers or you can order through the app. Most parts pair automatically and can be calibrated by putting the vehicle in Service Mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e1_xr81l38 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e1_xr81l38 Repair shops that buy high voltage batteries have to pass safety training.
- kelnos 3y agoAssuming they do, that's not enough. There needs to be a market for non-Tesla-built parts that will nonetheless work in the cars. We shouldn't allow manufacturers to lock things down so that becomes impossible (or even illegal, when the DMCA comes into play).
- callalex 3y agoYou can’t even replace a smashed window on a Tesla without Elon’s personal blessing.
- revscat 3y agoWhere? I found press releases stating some of this, but none of the actual docs/software.
