For reference on how the law can be interpreted...

Tesla provides access to the service manuals by law. But they won't let you purchase them. You must rent them at $30/hr, $100/day, $350/mo, or $3000/yr.

It's not ideal at all, but if I were in that position I'd pay the $350 and spend a month downloading and saving everything (good thing DRM is still breakable)... how much did the Tesla cost? An extra $350 doesn't seem all that much more to get a set of comprehensive docs.
