Tesla is different. Tesla does not manufacture using Parts Churn. Tesla operates using clean, professional engineering operating in an efficient manner to produce vehicles that serve the customer rather than abuse the customer with hundreds of mini-monopolies.
The easiest way to show the difference between honest and dishonest manufacturing is a comparison of the parts summaries of Tesla horns versus Ford horns. They are shown below:
The need or just the benefit of 85 different horns in 13 years is elusive. Why 3 horns would be manufactured for just one year's use is incomprehensible. That 44 Ford horns would be abandoned in just four years is astounding. There is no explanation other than intentional churning of parts.
The average years in use for Tesla is blank because there is no average years in use. As of today, no Tesla horn has been discontinued. As of today, there is probably no Tesla part that has been discontinued.
The churning of safety devices is an immoral act which should be prohibited by law and punished by lengthy prison terms. It is action motivated by greed not safety. Parts Churn degrades safety. The comparison below of summaries of Ford airbags and Tesla airbags is a comparison of an ethical company to a company operating in an industry seeming to be without an ethical foundation.
