he methodically tests old 18650 laptop cells, sorts them, builds battery packs and so on. He's converted a classic VW bus to electric power using his home-made battery packs and packs salvaged from wrecked teslas.

Wait what? where is this supply at

California, mostly, but not exactly a common thing yet. Will increase as more cars are totaled in rollovers or other crashes that mess up all of the body work.

Copart is a good site for buying wrecked cars in various conditions. Otherwise try calling your local junk yards.
