If a corporate Tesla-owned service center has an issue getting the part, why would a third-party-owned dealership fare better?

It wouldn't.

I don't think the implication was that a non-Tesla party would be faster at getting a Tesla part; rather they would be faster at getting a non-Tesla part.

Can dealership do that? Every time I went in for Nissan service, they emphasized the genuine parts (I suppose to justify the mark-up).

If a random mechanic can get a random non-Tesla part, why is there a need to affiliate themselves with Tesla? Bunch of shops in my area advertise that they "fix German cars" without flying a Mercedes-Benz or BMW logo.
