RE: Do you think Tesla will offer cryo treated battery packs and inverters just for audiophiles?...

Inverter: probably some kind of switchmode thing w/analog filtering to approximate a sine wave...sorta. The basic technology currently exists and is readily available. I believe most of Honda's small KVA home generators use this technology. i.e. generate at DC and convert to AC.

Efficiency A guess is low 90s for the larger units under load.

The audiophile grade inverter will probably operate entirely in the analog mode similar to a large power amp but designed for one or more frequencies. Or maybe a servo controlled DC motor driving an alternator. Neither very efficient but "no cost is too great when in service of the music."

In the final analysis, the future is difficult to predict accurately even when the stakes are high. Here the stakes are low and so is the quality of prediction.
