Model S PLAID 18650 or 4680?

Not adding up are weight specifications .vs. performance numbers posted. Unbelievable. And uncanny!
HORSE
This is a mistake or a typo.
What are the odds Elon misspoke 18650? BUT math don’t lie. It does not add up if 18650.
Did Tesla publish the incorrect battery weight? What are those chances?
100% chance Elon is a gamer. Well then:
We have been pwned! Elon you gamer.
Tesla puts us in an Uncanny Valley. Why do that if an AI-Robotics company like Tesla has bigger profits to chase? Does SpaceX need 1000ft lbs. motor torque on Starship? PLAID and Roadster pays forward that development? Not an answer…more uncanny.

If we have been pwned, the open question is whether the pack weight actually weighs 1337 lbs. 18650’s might weigh that, if more were used in a redesigned pack, which was done for PLAID. Tesla have told the truth just obscurred the facts.

ZEBRA
This is FAKE, as in unreal. Unbelievable.
What if it is 4680 in plaid disquise? That’s creative and narrative license!
That’s where this Youtube teaser takes on the ZEBRA:

This guy is pretty stuck on the battery being lighter, then heavier.

Elon hasn't said anything about battery type.

But the Monroney sticker implies a 120kWh battery.
