$1K from where? Salvage yard?
If you're going that route, it would be a LOT cheaper to just replace the emmc which is the cause of 95% of the MCU failures.

There are ways to get them for free straight from Tesla, but you'll have to figure it out on your own.It's TEN times what Toyota charges. So you can only be get overcharged for Tesla service manuals if you live in MA

Go try to buy a one day access to the online manuals - download or print what you need.
Tell us how it goes (I guess it needs to be from any state but MA.).
Still don't know why until the 8 year warranty is up. Except for non-drive drive train and I don't know why you can't handle all that using Tesla Parts listed here, E-Bay, Salvage yards, you know look for used parts.
You can even find guys that have bought 2 or 3 Model S and built their own. Go look YouTube channel and I think the guys is from ...

I'm not talking about "The pirate bay". You can literally access them for free from service.teslamotors.com

Though the 8-year, unlimited powertrain warranty is good thing there remain many components and systems that can/will fail post 50K miles - sun roof, self presenting door handles, PS stepper motor, HVAC, screens, etc.
Service manuals can be found on eBay.

They should not wait until that happen because they will be like what we hate about ice cars makers

1976-1990 Saab 99 auto trans (bought 2 years old)
1989-today Saab SPG turbo 900 5-speed trans (bought 1 year old)
I never used warranty service.
I have no formal mechanic training, no racing, just a few tools and reading and manuals.
parts used that I can remember
ignition coil, brake pads, fuel pump, filters, fluids, wipers, spark plugs, belts, lights, tire rotation (yes I do myself) liftgate shocks, tail light lens, head light. (don't use A/C any more).
1989 Saab does have Bosch fuel injection & EMU [Engine Management Unit]
And you won't have nearly as much to do with an Electric Vehicle.
Certainly do not have any special talent.
IF I bought a Tesla, I'm sure I'd never bother to buy another car again, why bother?

Duh!
Of course you don't use dealer warranty service on used Saabs.
I don't used warranty service on my 1992 Miata either.
I do use it on my 2015 MS and 2016 MX because -
1. They're new cars
2. Their "locked down" software operating system
That said, these cars are elegantly simple with easy access to major components and I've done a few minor mods on my vehicles - Check out my new door map pocket!
Soon enough there will be local, independent shops that will hack the software and give owners more independence.
Currently there remote hacks but I'm wary as to their abilities should Tesla brick my ride if they don't approve of my mods.
