Pavel, I understand your skepticism about new battery technology.  Lots of companies with new battery tech in the lab but not near as many whose tech makes it out of the lab and into commercialization.  A valid point, however I think it is important to know who Elon Musk is working with in his goal to be one of the few companies whose tech makes it into commercialization.  Jeff Dahn is on his team now and so is Maxwell.  They are both stars in the respective galaxies of lithium ion development and ultra capacitor development.

With ultracapacitor, Tesla car will able to draw much bigger power for acceleration without straining the battery. Tesla warned that this launch mode might shorten the life of battery, but with ultracapacitor, this problem may be solved. Ultracapacitor will also enable much bigger energy recovery during regenerative breaking since the charging speed won't be constrained by the battery.

 

There are a lot more interesting comments in the comment section similar to the one above.. and found in the article with the following link:
