Something about this really stinks...

Nope, nor did they blow it up with C4 or chuck it into a nuclear reactor... so disappointing.

Totally concur. Very incomplete testing.

Not sure if the nuclear and explody testing is an accurate way to determine solid state, but they do owe it their audience to try! After all, this entire endeavor is a marketing campaign so may as well get after it.

edit: Since they claim 100k charge cycles, we may need to throw 100k batteries into the reactor to validate! No other way to know!

This is what I mean.. no, it's not up to me. It's up to you -- to prove you're not full of shit.

Agree 100%. If you actually had something that Ford or GM or VW could license and use for the EVs, why would you announce at CES, do this YouTube video series, and not prove anything while stringing everyone along... ?

You wouldn't, you would cash in on the licensing and sip drinks with umbrellas on the beach...

But Gucci hat man just wants to string everyone along forever... Hence all the doubt lol...

If this battery tech is so revolutionary, why put it in an incredibly low volume motorcycle and not something that would sell tons of volume?

What's wrong with limiting distribution/production in the early stages ?

Is the publicity campaign proportional to the production volumes?

I would expect the comparison I made to be more inline with traditional manufacturer behavior than it currently is.

But you can definitely buy a really cool "I Donut Believe" t-shirt now. Can't buy the product they're hyping. Just the merch.

Donut Labs is being hyped as the next big thing in batteries—but is it actually a breakthrough? I sat down with a battery scientist to break down the claims, what’s real, and what already exists in lithium-ion technology. We get into battery chemistry, performance, and why not all “breakthroughs” are what they seem. https://www.electricgoddess.co/

That BYD charging speed demonstration is crazy. Similar to the speed of watching your tank fill with gas.
