There are a ton of other improvements, and while it has taken longer to get rolling on making these and incorporating them into vehicles, the benefits are massive compared to the 2170 cell.

Not sure how you look at this, but to me that is exponential improvement. Going from 30 min supercharger fill to 80%, to 100% full charge in 10 min is an insane improvement.

5x more energy but only 16% more range? If they weren’t focused on performance could they significantly increase range? Nm, I guess the improvements are energy transfer rates not total capacity
