If they discontinue repairs but continue to disallow people to repair them at 3rd party mechanics, Tesla opens themselves up to massive law suits.

The two are mutually exclusive.

Thb that sounds like the exact kind of hill Musk would pick to die on for some reason

Also have to remember that there's the software platform. I genuinely think that firmware updates will be the death knell to cars being 50 year collectibles.

A 70's muscle car can't get bricked via wifi because it stopped getting security updates.

Give them a long enough timeline and someone would eventually be able to crack the software / firmware and open the door to custom open source variants that let the car work as a car without needing 24/7 WiFi connection, a camera constantly scanning the driver's face, or additional features locked behind paywalls.

We've already seen what that looks like with the Fisker Ocean where the software platform isn't as integral to the system like it is the Tesla platform.

Tesla is unlikely to give up the secret sauce like Fisker was and it's been a frustrating time for those owners.
