Elon tells everyone that Li is 'common' and 'not rare' so everyone believes it...... Simple right......???
Great Blog from Matt Fernley of Battery Materials Review on Battery raw materials (BRM) supply issues, following Elon's rant about the BRM prices at the Tesla Investor Day.....
Certainly worth a read. He got a big thumbs up from Joe Lowry.....

Great extract re Lithium -
"...it’s a difficult industry because the in-situ material is very chemically variable. And the chemical variability is as important in terms of non-lithium elements (impurities) as it is in terms of lithium ones. And this is what mostly trips up companies that are looking to develop projects in this space. The requirement for consistency and purity in battery raw materials streams is an order of magnitude above streams for other industry applications of raw materials. Which means that it takes longer to bring these operations on stream, and costs more."
Says it all really......
