This is a factor that almost no tesla owner wants to speak of. Tesla parts supplies are an absolute nightmare, firstly they are not available and secondly they are shipped in glacial time.
The most important link in a cars success is servicability and thats how mercedes benz won the markets years ago and also today. (e.g. you can buy W123 parts at the dealer without issues) - buying spares for a 2 yr old 80k dollar tesla seems as if ordering an obsolete part.
