Kind of reminds me of old guys and their old motorcycles that shops don't want to touch. I wish him well in his endeavor.

He makes great points on getting parts and specialty tools along with a pro dealership message to go along with it. Having brick and mortar dealerships has been a bone of contention in many states, here's an argument that supports that. Of course an online parts and tool store would clear up most of that in one flail swoop

I whole heartedly agree with recycling and making one from two or more parts vehicles. As he stated, its just a matter of time before the Tesla lawyers contact him with no good intent. I think he over spent on that flooded salvage Tesla S for 14K though. More power to him.

Interesting. Cool dude for sure and I love how he is getting into their proprietary tech not meant for mere mortals (non Tesla employees). I recently heard a piece about farmers with similar complaints regarding access to their mega dollar tractor’s electronics, and the question of who owns the rights to it.
I wish him much success.

I say once you bought it, you do. Now that doesn't mean you can copy it or sell the information you've learned.
