How would forcing new car sales to go through dealerships prevent Tesla from making its parts rare and expensive? Wouldn't all Tesla parts come from Tesla anyways, and just go through the chain Tesla->dealership->consumer, instead of Tesla->consumer?

(In case it's not clear, I'm legitimately curious and know basically nothing about dealerships.)
