[WSJ Video] Tesla Battery Cost Strategy

Very interesting & simple explanation on how Tesla is reducing their battery costs.

Upon watching this, then gauging the current status on the consumer lithium battery market via imrbatteries, it seems the market has gotten slightly cheaper now (with certain cells), and new & promising cells have entered the market, in particular the Samsung 21700 5Ah 9.8A 50E's, which seems to hit the sweet spot on weight per capacity and cost per capacity, even when compared to the tried-and-true 18650 old faithfuls.

Interestingly, the top performance e-board makers like Kaly.NYC and LaCroix are now utilizing some of these bigger cells (20700B's) in their latest models. Seems EUC won't be too far behind as the costs go down.
