My understanding is that Tesla is sitting out the solid state battery wars and spending it energy perfecting the lithium ion battery. I'll need to go research why they are doing that.
My general opinion is that everything in the EV world gets over hyped and under delivered. So I would not hold my breadth for a huge solid state breakthrough that makes it to production any time soon.
Supposedly Toyota is shipping a production car in 2027 with 621 mile driving range under and a 10-minute fast-charging time (going from 10% to 80%).
We'll see how this goes. Hard to bet against Elon's approach to anything. When he is wrong he course correctly quickly.
I did a bit more research in to this this and there is some truth to Toyota starting production of the battery, but the plans for the car are a little more sketchy. Color me skeptical until I see real production.
I would think if there is new technology out there.. Elon/Tesla would be all over it!!!
