The prices Musk is quoting is a full 10x less than analyst estimates of what those batteries should cost.

Can we see some links? These claims don't make sense to me. Musk didn't achieve any breakthroughs in battery technology.

It's improvements in manufacturing, not underlying technology, that Musk is claiming is responsible for the decreased costs. My analyst source was not online so I can't easily provide a link..
