The nano titanate batteries are only made by altair nanosystems to my knowledge. So you have smaller production and likely much higher costs. However, I have not been able to find any site yet that lists the price.
I suspect low availability, little real world use/testing, and cost are the reasons Tesla isn't using them yet.
