Something that mirrors oil. When internal combustion cars were invented they did not immediately face an issue of oil shortages.
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.

The problem is these elements do not exist at quantities and production levels like oil did/does.
There is a reason they are mined in only a handful of countries in the world.
