1M cars over 13 models mean you’ll have no parts at all. 10M identical cars means there’s massive third party supply. Parts are already cheaper than Toyota’s.

Teslas very much aren't identical over models. Remember this? https://www.extremetech.com/cars/314871-tesla-model-y-owners...
Moot point over a bracket when car has over 30k total parts.
A typical car sells tens of thousands per year and has no problem with parts availability. 1M cars is even easier.
Rivian and Lucid sells like 15k per quarter and is on verge of bankruptcy.
