I manufacture equipment, I can't use used batteries, I need new. If something is not available in the quantities I need, it is not available. Food is a good example of this, in a famine there is not enough food. Money can not buy you extra because it does not exist.
Or another example: So if I am willing to pay anything, I can get the Mona Lisa? and if you are willing to pay anything, you can get the Mona Lisa as well? There is only one.
But to bring this back to the original topic of the thread, since we have determined that money is no object, why not spend that money to build nuclear power plants.
You could buy them from someone who has them. There's a price at which anyone will sell. The problem then becomes the price you'd have to charge for the cars is too much, but someone who is willing to pay that price could still buy them.
Which is why new car prices are up substantially.
If prices were set by law, this couldn't happen (legally). So then the shortages are real.
