I assume it will be different from your first attempt since we now both agree that whether the metals themselves are domestic or imported is irrelevant to sustainability.
Classic strawman if I've ever seen one.
I gave you a definition based on the context of my last sentence on my OP. I guess I'll have to define every word for you from now on.

Then I will again I ask what your definition of "long term sustainable"
Something that mirrors oil. When internal combustion cars were invented they did not immediately face an issue of oil shortages.
Battery powered cars are just becoming mainstream and there are already many issues related to battery production.

Simply extrapolating current extraction techniques out to cover the entire Tesla gigafactory model is foolish. If the demand is there, then technology will make extraction more efficient. Mirroring oil.
