    I hear what you’re saying, but they invested tens of billions in this technology, and they were apparently the first to solve the dendrite issue that prevented SS batteries from being produced to scale. I’m confident they’ve figured it out. We’ll have to wait and see.

      Imagine being on a project too big to fail. Someone might have felt inclined to tinker with the data. Happens in the science community, could happen again here.

      Plus VW produced SS equipment at scale in the past, but they don’t like to talk about it.

      So, they are heavily invested in this being a success, both financially and for the prestige of being first? To the point of likely costing someone a lot of money and maybe their job if they hadnt produced results?

      The kind of situation where they would be tempted to tweak results a bit, perhaps?
