Elon Musk makes many statements, and promises, about his ventures all the time. Over at Bloomberg, they are opining that his promises for batteries in his new roadster and semi products are slightly unbelievable. I tend to side with their opinion. However, only time will tell and I suspect he's going to hit his targets much farther in the future than he is currently projecting.
These claims are so far beyond current industry standards for electric vehicles that they would require either advances in battery technology or a new understanding of how batteries are put to use, said Sam Jaffe, battery analyst for Cairn Energy Research in Boulder, Colorado. In some cases, experts suspect Tesla might be banking on technological improvements between now and the time when new vehicles are actually ready for delivery.
