I think that number is an extrapolation of the energy density with typical battery pack weights.
So really they are saying they can have a battery that is 1/3rd the size and charge in a few minutes. Which is a giant advancement.
A Tesla 3 has a GVWR 4,700-5,100lbs with 1,000lbs of that being a battery that gives you ~260-300 miles of range. They could get that down to ~150lbs of battery and maintain the same range. For context, 10 gallons of gas weighs like 63lbs.
Solid state also makes electric sportscars viable, which is neat.
