Tesla starts shipping parts directly to owners who want to repair their vehicle as it provides interactive Cybertruck wiring scheme

Tesla is widening its self-repair program scope by selling parts to its vehicle owners directly. Not the $15,750 Model Y battery, obviously, but rather things like brake rotors and calipers.

Until recently, Tesla only sold replacement wipers or air filters, but it is now including more parts in a direct-to-consumer catalog that is only set "to be expanded with future releases."

California's right-to-repair legislation might be behind the push, as Tesla also just provided a detailed interactive Cybertruck wiring diagram to owners, but still, the move will allow them to make simple vehicle repairs, saving them a trip to the service center.

The Model Y brake rotors with part number 1188611-00-A, for instance, can be ordered for $160 directly from Tesla and delivered within a week.

Currently, the repair parts in the direct-to-consumer program can only be shipped to a US address, which is another hint that Tesla's largesse might have something to do with the right-to-repair push on state and federal level that made even Apple provide repair parts, tools, and diagrams to third-party shops.

Previously, one had to place an order for delivering the part to a Tesla Service Center, even if they wanted to do a simple brake job themselves, then go and collect it from there.

The only Tesla vehicle without any direct-to-consumer repair parts in its Electronic Repair Catalog is the Cybertruck, for obvious production ramp reasons. Once it becomes more ubiquitous and the early adopter vehicles start requiring servicing like brake jobs, Tesla is likely to populate the catalog with Cybertruck components as well.
