The reason this is amazing is that they are starting to plateau in their reduction of cost per kwh, but with these changes they might be able to push through the plateau and redefine the cost of batteries.
A 50% reduction in cost per kwh at this stage is probably a much much more difficult problem than tesla has ever solved. There are always diminishing returns on investment and if they can break that trend by rethinking everything from the ground up that's amazing.
The reason everyone is so quiet is because relative to the last 10 years this doesn't sound impressive. But when you consider all the low hanging fruits have been picked, I think it is really impressive.
Elon said on the call, as companies get bigger they usually innovate slower. It is amazing that Tesla is trying to not do this.
