There's a lot of sensor-integrated parts that are difficult or impossible to repair and very expensive to replace.

Saturn was also notorious for sensor integrated parts. That didn’t last very long.

Tesla has a first mover advantage, but the “sensor integrated parts” has been tested and failed already.

Interesting - I remember saturn tried very hard to have plastic panels that would be easy to replace, and was ahead of its time with employee relations. I guess it disappeared.
