Diagnostic tools are built into every car and free, service mode is amazing. No other car manufacturer does that.

Elementary diagnostic tools are free.

If you think this is actual diagnostic tools? No.

Free? Weird that Tesla offers a subscription for it: https://service.tesla.com/en-US/diagnostic-software

$700/year is a strange definition of "free".

You seem to miss my point. The OP wanted to pat Tesla on the back for their amazing commitment to freeness and openness. My point was that even if they are doing good/much better now, much of the time they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to it. MA's AG had to wave the right-to-repair laws.

It's not uncommon knowledge that third party repairs have been, for years, difficult to impossible because Tesla wouldn't supply either the information or the parts to third parties. I'm not sure why, in the face of repeated evidence otherwise, you seem determined to retcon those details out of existence.
