It's well known at this stage that they use the same model every other silicon valley company uses: don't hire any humans for support and slash staffing levels to the bare minimum.
That might work for a digital product, but do you want this for an actual physical car that you rely on to get to work / do groceries etc? Can you afford to wait for months for some part that only Tesla can provide you?
The cars themselves may have some innovative tech and stuff, but another car company isn't usually going to leave you high and dry like that if something breaks. And even if they did, a third party could still scrounge up a part somewhere and fix it for you.
