But hey, at least you can reserve your 1.7 billion in batteries with only a $1,000 deposit! On a more serious topic, they seem to have their economics backwards a bit when it comes to battery prices. They say "And efforts to scale batteries on an artificial timetable drive up prices." this is a strange argument. While it's true that many people trying to buy batteries drives up the price, this isn't really a bad thing per se, since it will presumably by driven back into improvements in the production chain.
