The prices Musk is quoting is a full 10x less than analyst estimates of what those batteries should cost. Tesla would not offer the product unless they felt they could make a sufficient profit, so their costs must be lower still. That is what I was talking about.
It’s improvements in manufacturing, not underlying technology, that Musk is claiming is responsible for the decreased costs. My analyst source was not online so I can’t easily provide a link..

Can we see some links? These claims don’t make sense to me. Musk didn’t achieve any breakthroughs in battery technology.
