Your math is pretty good, Tesla actually gave the storage tank capacity as 250kg
ETA: this is a horrifying amount of energy to be sitting on top of.

I guess on the plus side SpaceX has been trucking much worse around in and out of orbit verrry reliably for years now in tough conditions.
1% failure rate for space rockets might count as very reliable, but if 1% of all cars explode then we are in for a ride.
F9 reliability is 99.58%. The current version is at 99.84% and the last 2 years over more than 250 launches is at 100%.

The Falcon 9 has a much lower failure rate than that.
Can't wait to see the crash test video.
