Plaid 12 volt Lithium battery internal format?

[iwannam3]

Has anyone opened up the new 12 volt Lithium battery on the Plaid S to see if it's a pouch, or 2170, 18650 or what are the internals and what chemistry? Is Tesla the OEM?

And a related question, can that new lithium ion battery be retrofit in older S/X cars? I assume it is smaller, but even if it were the same size the question is really the battery management of the 12v.

This and the OP question are also asked, but not yet answered, in this thread.

Jeeze that's a cheap price for an Li battery. I just saw a vendor in Costco selling a 12 v Li battery for $695! It was part of a Li generator display. Designed to replace a Honda 2000 generator.
