Interesting. I bet the pouch cells are 100% LFP.
They are trying to move to 4680 for most of their NCA cells. The 4680 has more gaps between cells but that's ok because NCA has high enough energy density.
LFP needs to use every bit of volume possible to maximize capacity because it's not energy dense enough, so the 4680 style pack won't work as well.
