Don’t forget that high power is still a worthwhile target in and of itself
Not all applications for batteries are completely focused on power density

On the other hand any supplication involving transport does.
Both are very large markets, so weight would be a good point, especially if it was materially different.
So while you are correct, not all applications are weight sensitive, its an important factor. Or, to put it another way, if you discovered the new battery was half the weight of li-ion, how would that affect your opinion?
I would assume the cost of the batteries (and then after that things like inverters) is still so high everything else is in the noise.
That puts your number at. (3k4010) / (16k*2.2) (estimating width of the 40 foot at 10 feet),
Uhh.. 34 containers. I think that's enough.
In reality you would be able to drive helicoil foundations or any number of things to change the dynamic. I agree the foundations would be secondary to the rest of the system cost in general though
