Stripping a car for parts will frequently earn you a lot of money.
It isn't unreasonable to just disassemble the entire car and sell all the parts on the 2nd hand parts market and earn enough to buy a new similar car.

I heard some irrational sounding numbers a few years back. Maybe prices have come down, now that more Teslas have had the opportunity to be totalled and sold for parts.
If you have a project car that really wants a tesla engine.. the car wants what the car wants. I wouldn't be surprised if some number of Teslas have been bought new to scrap.
It's always been legal to sell parts off your car. Do not buy anything that attempts to prevent you from owning what you bought through any sort of user agreement.
