I have the impression that long range and low weight is the priority for the CT pack. At battery day Tesla specifically put the CT and Semi at the far end of high nickel/high energy density.As an advocate of home based microgrids, Tesla's approach with the cybertruck might be quite a breakthrough IF it will seamlessly include solar and the capability to arbitrage energy while on grid. Again, if anyone has more/lasted information, please pass along.
Since cells are a compromise between cost, cycle life, energy density(ref to mass sensitive in the picture) and power, and looking at the presentation, CT (and Semi) would unfortunately be the last Tesla products I would expect to allow arbitrage while under warranty. CT as back up power makes sense since blackouts usually happen with yearly as opposed to daily frequency and as such won't have a material impact on cycle life.
