Re: Details
"false privacy reason"
The other reason they cite is they don't want to provide schematic for trade secret reasons. That's total manure. When the Tesla Model 3 was released to the public, some of the first cars were taken to the port, put in containers and shipped to China for disassembly. Even Munro and Associates bought one to take apart. Those entities have all of the skill and machinery to completely reverse engineer competitor's products. In fact, there are companies that specialized in reverse engineering stuff for their customers. The average person is not going to get a service manual so they can build their own widget. It's far cheaper to buy the mass produced one and have a warranty thrown in (for a certain value of warranty).
