Tesla refuses to allow third party repair or parts

Interesting. I think this is, or will soon be, illegal in the EU - we have legislation around driving more openness from manufacturers to 3rd party repairs. I have to admit to not knowing the details, but I do recall reading about this.

EDIT - here you go:

Looks like Tesla's behaviour in this sense is on the wrong side of EU law.
