The TMC article doesn't make it clear, but Tesla didn't lose the entire lawsuit. They lost the petition to dismiss Nikola's lawsuit. The patent lawsuit itself has yet to be decided.
If you look at the weights on the picture and the note that tractor weight includes battery You can calculate that going from 1Mw to 2Mw increase curb weight by 7000 pounds. Therefore a 2Mw battery pack would be 14,000 pounds. Divide that by 2000kw and you get 7 pounds per kw which is about 3.3kg per kw.
Either something is off with the weights in the picture or the current battery density is expected to greatly increase before that scenario becomes a reality.
(Just to check your math, you estimate the ~60kw pack in M3 SR+ weighs about 800 pounds?)
3 different things that of course have 3 different values
(and Elon has talked about eliminating the module - as time has shown it has no practical use)
Similar to metal seat frames (same used in all vehicles) , can battery packs be shared across vehicles ?
They're alleging that Trevor Milton actually stole the design himself from a hydrogen powered semi truck design named Road Runner that was entered into a 2010 Michelin design challenge. Sounds plausible, because Trevor met with the designer of the Road Runner before patenting the Nikola One.

I didn't know what this meant so I did some quick googling. The patent process requires the submitter to swear that he/she is the inventor:
you cannot patent something you did not invent. The patent application includes a declaration in which the applicant swears that everything in the application is true. So if you falsely claim that you invented something when you did not, that would amount to fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office which would result in a termination of any rights you may have obtained (along with possible sanctions).
Ok, but what if the original inventor sells the design, or just gives it away to the submitter?
f you purchased the idea from the inventor, or if the inventor gave you the invention, or the inventor assigned the invention to you in some other way, then you can file and get a patent, but you are supposed to indicate who the correct inventor is and the inventor will usually need to file a declaration that they are the inventor.
So what Tesla is alleging is not that Milton stole the idea, but that he did not invent it nor did he indicate in the Patent application the name of the real inventor. Based on that the Patent should be nullified. That sounds like some good lawyering at like Matlock levels.
