You only quoted half of rob's question. Here is the whole question and the reason why 12k is not possible today.

He stipulated Lithium Ion or Nano titanate batteries, he also stipulated 'car'.
With those stipulations in place, I don't believe you could get under 30k for the batteries alone.
I do agree with you that the price would come down if you eliminate niceties and strip the vehicle down to simple a device to get you from point A to point B.
And in the future (near future I hope) economy of scale will hopefully play a part in making batteries cheaper. But right now, I don't think it could be done as cheaply as you mentioned.
