The real problem is what matters more isn't energy density by weight but by volume. You can have the lightest battery in the world, it does nothing if you can't fit it. In comparison, a few hundred lb of weight here or there isn't as important.

Gotion's Michigan factory may be for the newly unveiled LMFP cell with 240 Wh/kg energy density that would allow 600-mile range on a charge. It could ultimately end up in Tesla or other US automakers as the plant would supply "a large listed automobile company in the United States" with LFP batteries.
