It’s not a mistake. Tesla needs high margins on every car they sell, both for expansion and because it’s the last unmet requirement of Elon’s compensation package (margins at least 30% for four quarters).
Therefore, no parts/drivetrain unless they’re going into vehicles that can command the necessary premium. It’s not a legal issue; if you want the parts, you’ll need to buy the whole car and tear it down.
