Jumping on what Mafana said, Tesla is known for being one of the most closed off car systems on the planet. There were several HN posts over the last month or two talking about this, but they will require a full inspection to re-activate a car once it's been sold or written off, and it's almost impossible to get parts from them outside of service centers.

You chose literally two of the worst examples out there to try and prove your point.

My point is that these companies have no evident interest in establishing a monopoly in whatever market they've followed. That they maintain a closed system doesn't contradict that.
