Tbh, I am sure whatever the mine is , the profit will be there , they are not going to give lithium away.
IF it is 8,000tpa , there is still 16,000 LiOH for PLL as they are processing 160,000 tpa of LCE , this is what they have targeted and not written in the PFS is now their priority and openly discussed by the CEO. Sayona will initially supply 60,000-100,000 tonnes of LCE so the processing still will be done. My questions is if Tesla want to process their own, as you say the cost for pure LCE will be lower. True.
So why not just buy the mine outright ? Piedmont CEO was interviewed AFTER the Tesla deal and smirked when answered saying they are open to any major buying in or the whole thing ! The tesla deal in my eyes is a down payment to securibg supply / option to buy. They certsinly have the option to buy more.
EMH i hope too will produce Li2OH and am sure they will with CEZ pulling the strings and profiting.
