That's what I always heard as well, but it doesn't apply to Tesla for some reason, which is not being discussed even though it should be.

According to the above link, parts for cars and other consumer products only need to be available in some form (and not from the manufacturer) for the stated warranty period, whatever it is. After that you have no protection. Seems the 10 yr thing is an urban legend widely promulgated to rubes like us.
The thread has evidence that laws are different overseas. In Israel it is claimed parts must be available for 7 years, as an example.
