This video has a click-bait title, because the content applies to all electric vehicle batteries, with Tesla actually being the best so far - BUT.... the reasons to doubt future success of this technology are real.
See the 15:00 minute mark to compare Gasoline vs Hydrogen vs Lithium Car Batteries for energy content vs weight.

In a nutshell, gasoline cannot be beat on a weight to weight basis, and on a crash-safety basis.
This may be a contributing factor as to why the big players are backing off from the lithium sector - recognition of the hard limits of the energy-physics involved.
It's best to understand the issues. It would seem that to make batteries more energy-dense would be to make them more dangerous.
