All true across the board. We can also add that LFP batteries are technically a fire hazard but are already so thermally stable that thermal runaway is not possible.

I would qualify that range anxiety is still a minor issue. We’ve already far exceeded the 80/20 rule in most cars. But SS batteries will blow it away.

Your cost summary is correct. The technology is expected to be in supercars and premium cars only. Either way, the energy density issue also opens up new markets and applications. A lot of places ban ebikes and scooters because of fires on appartment balconies or from a bike on a commuter train. This battery technology is important.
