Tesla has also verified that the lithium's weight within the battery constitutes roughly 1.5% of the overall composition.

So If Phoenix Ore reserve is 1.5 Million Mt
Mine life of 20 years
Then the annual target production capacity 75,000 tpa.
Which means, annually 1.19 Million batteries can be produced annually from 75ktpa LCE plant. [[75,000 * 1000]/63 LCE per battery]
