Drew Baglino, Tesla’s Senior Vice President of Powertrain and Energy Engineering, was also on stage with Elon and the two pointed out that they meant the lithium that had already been discovered — what they know to already exist. Drew added that people haven’t even been looking, and Elon elaborated further.
