If Apple owned Tesla, there wouldn't be enough room in this comment to list all the reasons HN would hate it:
1. What do you mean, the OS and all its software is proprietary? Why can't I sideload my own fart app?
2. Highest margins in the industry? No we won't praise their business genius, we'll complain that they're charging a Tesla Fanboi Tax.
3. Like you said, RIGHT TO REPAIR, this is John Deere stuff, only it's a car and not a tractor.
4. Shit build quality would have us raving about butterfly keyboards 2.0.
And so on, and so forth. Steve Jobs had a "reality distortion field." So does Elon Musk, and it's aimed squarely at a certain very obvious demographic.

From a business perspective, a demographic bigger than the HN readership.
