Happily, you are misunderstanding their filing. They do have working prototypes which meet the announced specs.
They also have a plan to push beyond the current (and very impressive) 900 Wh/L energy density.[1] It is those future-looking plans which may (or may not) require higher energy density materials on the anode and cathode.

- Animats 4y agoFrom PDF, page 10, note "Assumed 100% packing efficiency for pouch or prismatic vs 90.7% packing efficiency for cylindrical form factor". Some of the improved energy density seems to come from rectangular cells packed with no space for coolant flow. The one picture of an actual battery shows it sitting on a huge heat sink.
