Rare earth elements prices go up significantly theses day, how they affect final price of model s marginal or important effect?

Not significant. The AC induction motor used in Tesla vehicles doesn't contain permanent magnets, so no rare earths. Rare earths are required in some quantity for NiMH batteries, but Tesla uses Li-ion."
