If it goes belly up, it’s no longer a going concern. Moreover, liquidation value of manufacturing facilities is pennies on the dollar. (Before legal fees, creditors’ claims, et cetera.) Supply chains are too tightly integrated; it’s expensive to swap in someone else’s kit.
That said, time spend waiting for Tesla specific parts would drop like a rock because all that tooling generally gets sold to some aftermarket company that ships it co China/Mexico/wherever and starts using it to crank out parts. Of course that won't matter if the server your car phones home to before turning on is down.
