I think the point the poster is trying to get across is that there are no more rare earth metals in a Tesla model S than any other car of its class. Of course there may be some small amount of rare earth metals in the speakers or the electronics, but this is not an increase from any other car.
The issue of rare earth metals was used by some nay-sayers to incorrectly argue that the Tesla model S is more environmentally damaging than equivalent gasoline powered cars.
