Let's not call out Apple as some evil locked down hardware platform company. How user serviceable or after-market modifiable is a Model S? Tesla cars get over-the-air software updates and you sure as hell can't modify it yourself in any non-"illegal hacking" capacity.

They have always wanted to own and control both the hardware and the software, though.

Just because Teslas aren't very hackable doesn't mean it's a good thing.
