It’s called a service manual. The dealer will sell it to you, but it costs money. It’s the exact same as a gas car if you wanted the manual.
EVs have a battery disconnect usually located under the rear seats. Pull the seat bottom up, unscrew some bolts, and yank the lever to disconnect the main battery, and now the car is safe to work on.
You say that like they still sell service manuals and I didn’t have to steal both of them for my current old cars.
What shade tree mechanic wouldn't steal it?
I sure as shit haven't paid for them for any of my cars, nor any other car I've worked on.
