Grasping at straws again, The desperation to find any conection for a commercial supply chain to a REE waanabees fantasies, is just pure hype.

Nissan's Sunderland factory in the UK is working on developing new electric vehicles (EVs) that use alternative magnetic motors to reduce the need for rare-earth metals

The recently developed magnet utilises a samarium-iron rare-earth alloy. Unlike traditional EV motors, which use neodymium magnets enhanced with dysprosium and terbium for heat resistance, Nissan’s magnet eliminates the need for these rare and supply-risk-prone materials. Neodymium and dysprosium primarily come from China, which has previously restricted rare-earth exports to Japan, highlighting a significant supply-chain risk.
