I mean - would they?
Tesla is famously secretive about defects, not putting anything in writing to customers and asking them to sign NDAs - so I doubt Tesla is handing out honest numbers to potential partners.
And even if they ran a small-scale trial before making a big purchase, there's a lot of ways a small trial can accidentally be unrepresentative.

That's what companies do when one can't trust the other -- they hold the manufacturer responsible for the cost of repairs/replacements rather than doing it themselves. And if a manufacturer refuses to agree at a reasonable rate, you don't do the deal because that's a huge red flag the numbers are dishonest.
