It looks like Mike Matthews has gotten around the Russian sanctions somehow? That story seems a bit obfuscated, in that it's not *Russia* imposing the sanctions - as the stories I've seen tell?
However, digging through Chinese websites reveals a number of "small" companies claiming to be producing tubes. As well as selling *Russian* tubes, which leads me to posit:
You probably can get Russian tubes through a Chinese source on Aliexpress. China is still doing business with Russia; and while the prices aren't cheap, I would suspect some of the older "established" shops are fencing tubes from the Tesla plant.
It also looks like the Pjvane plant in China has acquired the Changsa Shuguang tooling? So again, I think in a few months once the backlog shakes out there will be more stable sources.
