Trades82, just wanted to say that I completely agree with your thoughts in that last post.  Evans is certainly aware of Elon Musk's previous attempts to pay bottom of the barrel prices for consignment of lithium carbonate/lithium hydroxide.  Musk can't hide his nature from any major player anymore and LAC is not in a position where they have to accept a deal that is less than favorable to the future of the company.  There are tons of Juniors out there who may be so unfortunate as to take any crumb that is offered to them by Musk, but not only are they no where near the point of being able to deliver the lithium they are also at the mercy of a "Strategic Partner" like Tesla/Musk.  LAC is not at anyone's mercy.  Thank goodness for that!   Great post, Trades82!!!  Okiedo
