Lithium isn't the issue. Cobalt is. My volt pack just goes to the landfill when it's done to sit inert for millennia growing dendrites. Nobody wants them back, even if I paid.

I swag that there are many thousand tons of lithium sitting in dumps awaiting. There is no demand because raw lithium from China is cheaper. Elon WAS supposed recycle at the gigafactory when he gets to making more cars per week.
