manufacturers have all switched to online-only, subscription shop manuals that don't lend themselves to easy archiving to PDF.

Going to be interesting if we ever get “right to repair” for vehicles for the factories to open that all up again.

I have some CD filled with I guess downloads from a factory online manual. It’s not the best experience to be sure.

We have that right now, you just have to pay for it. https://www.oemonestop.com/
Most Manufacturers have a website that you can access and pay for a day or more access. Usually it's the exact same one they use at the dealerships. I was able to print the manuals to pdfs.

All of Tesla's Service Manuals are freely available online: https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelY/ServiceManual/index-mo...
What about shops that are outside internet access?
