We have millions of cars, planes, rebar, jewelry, bullets, boats, phones, wires, etc. How is there still metal being made? Are we projected to run out anytime soon?

By mass there’s more iron on earth than pretty much any other element (though a lot is in the core). In the crust, aluminium/aluminum is the most abundant element followed by iron, oxygen and calcium…so there’s plenty of the most commonly used metals.
