In June 2023, Caucharí-Olaroz achieved first lithium production as the project advances commissioning and ramp up to Stage 1 capacity of 40,000 tonnes per annum of battery-quality lithium carbonate, which is scheduled to be completed in mid-2024. During the ramp up, sales are based on market price for battery-quality lithium carbonate less a processing fee to remove the excess potassium chloride (“KCl” ). achieving 99.5% lithium carbonate content and technical-quality specifications. .

Who's pretending? Literally the only thing I said about LAAC was that they went from first production to 50% nameplate in ~6 months. If there's something wrong with this particular statement, by all means, have a crack. But it seems you just want to create another straw man argument, so instead I'd encourage you to save your breath and focus on the actual points discussed, rather than the tangents circling inside your brain.
