My only question is, how long will support for his cars exist? They're a small boutique company (relatively speaking) so I'm curious how long you will be able to buy replacement or spare parts.

I don't like the sound of the car, I thought it would have a nicer exhaust sound.

He's a true genius and he is doing what other big-name manufacturers haven't. Elon Musk could only hope to have half the ingenuity this guy has. He has made it pay off and has high demand for his vehicles AND he makes a profit on them.
Of course, at his prices, you can do some pretty wild stuff. I believe his wheels are about $25k each! His latest hypercar is over $2M and they're all sold out even though they aren't in production yet.
Also, as you mentioned, he's looking to develop cam-less engines (Freevalve technology), which would be a huge step forward, if they're truly reliable and cost effective. Early reports are 47% more power and 45% more torque with 15% improvement in fuel economy and 35% reduction in emissions.

And the other manufacturers as far as I know arent making bodies with Tesla drivetrains much like how the majority of hybrids are using a Toyota hybrid system.
That valueless design is another break through that can increase the thermal efficiency of combustion motors.

Being as the Company is so small, and the number of vehicles they make are pretty small, They probably will be able to make any replacement part the customer needs, unless they go out of business, which I don't see happening for a long while.

Don't forget the current top speed production car record holder, the Agera RS. Beautiful car and values are already up to $10 million.
