I hope
Still traditional tech has been proven in the S and X, and chevy volt as well as all kinds of other consumer devices. We will see how things hold up with these new cells.
I hope your right, the new cells use silicon anodes to increase battery density but at the downside of almost 3x greater expansion rate which would can lead to cell failure over time. Of course they are only switching over a percentage of the anode.Tesla's new cells are more than likely going to prove even better than the previous generation. Nobody has better battery cell tech than Tesla and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I don't know if Jag is using individual cells or if they went in the 'pouch' direction (think cell phone batteries) to cut down on costs.
