That's not exactly true. If you take like a Hudson, Packard, or International and you need a piston for it, you are In The Shit because the supply chain for those things just does not exist anymore.
My plan is to go rip a drive axle out of a crashed tesla and if that shit blows up (which is a rare occurrence with EV motors), I'm gonna go rip another drive axle out of another crashed tesla.
And if tesla stops making that drive axle, I'll find some other EV that is in junkyards and there's 3rd party companies that have reverse engineered it so I can yank it out of a crashed car and throw that in.
