The article kind of explains it. There is a tesla plant in the area, so it was an idea of supporting local business.
the problem is, Teslas are built so badly, they are hard to customize, and repair.
Most other vehicle manufactures have done a lot to maintain part specs for interchangeability, which also makes it easier to modify and repair
