Meh, not entirely true though. Anything related to “regular” car parts like brakes, suspension etc. can be fixed by any regular mechanic. As for things like handles, you can actually also just order the part from them and have any mechanic change itif you can’t/won’t do it yourself.
Yes there are things you unfortunately would need them for, but most of the things that tend to break or wear out are regular car parts anyone can fix.

According to my neighbour who owns a Tesla he had to take it to a Tesla dealership in order to replace one of the headlights because there are non-standard design. So even if he could get the part from Tesla the mechanic wouldn’t have been able to change it because they wouldn’t have the tools.

The few things I needed repaired on mine was just fixed by my local mechanic. Once I bought original parts from Tesla and had my own mechanic change it, but they’ve also used 3rd party unoriginal parts without issues.
