LFP increasing density (200 wh/kg in 2022 according to CATL roadmap, 230 in 2023) is coming, but it's just the short range Model 3 that is feasible with LFP in the current state. All the sexy models (S, X, LR version, CT, etc) will be NMC for at least 2 years I'd guess. The 230 wh/kg LFP cells will probably be better than the 260 wh/kg NMC cells since pack level there's less cooling/safety needed. So if 2023 230 density is achieved, then we can talk. Solid state continues to be a nothingburger. It's strange that the Quantumscape 10 layer demo was such a news dud, which tells me that the major problems of scale and cost are still in prototype.
