This seems too good to be true. But I’m here for it if it is!

I considered merging it, but the OP includes the awful video from up north, so I decided to leave it as a stand alone.

I want that battery in my Lightning or a new lightning with those electric wheel motors AND that ALL-Solid-State battery. If I was the CEO for Ford, GM, Rivian, Tesla, etc...I'm calling Donut ASAP
This could single handedly save the US Auto industry from the chinese.

This is still razors edge technology but if it became common you could pack the current battery cavity in the Lightning with these and get like 600-800 miles of range. The charging speed unfortunately will still be the same due to all the existing electronics in the current Lightning. Which I suppose could be swapped out too but then you’re getting into really pricey territory.

Anyone look at the charging graph, no doubt it's fast, but 350 seconds is almost 6 minutes, and to 90% SoC. It also doesn't show the actual charging rate or battery size. Solid state is no doubt the future but the devil is in the details.

I sincerely hope this is true!
Of course I have doubts, but technology is changing very rapidly right before our eyes!
This seems to be Moore‘s law playing out in all kinds of technology!🤞🏼

This screams, “company on the verge of bankruptcy that needs investors quickly.”

Donut invest in this until third party validation happens!
I tried to look them up when I first heard about this a day or two ago and I do not believe they are publicly traded, at least not here! There is no investor relations section or anything to do with investors on their website. I own many stocks, but I watch many many many stocks!

I drank the koolaid on the day on the announcement, but I’m more skeptical now.

First, NO third party had the Donut Lab SSB in their hands for independent testing.

Second, there are ZERO patients on this technology which is a massive red flag.

Third, the two companies mentioned shipping this product in Q1 have common ownership with Donut Labs……

Four, if what was shown in the videos lithium the why are they running at 4V?

My BS-o-meter is in the red here. I so want this to be true, but I don’t think that it is.
