Isn't this what Quantumscape is already betting on ?

  Yeah, Isn't that what engineers in the Skunksworks at Mutual Polydynamics were already working on in scope of the SANS ICS HyperEncabulator?

  Hey, remember them? They were right on the verge of production allegedly while the shorters were "outing" them? I've heard nothing about them for a solid 16 months, so I'm guessing the shorters were right. Solid State batteries appear pretty easy to crank out a demonstration cell with lots of density advantages over the production cells, and handwave away the scaling of production as a detail resolved in investment. There are a solid dozen companies I've seen with that basic approach. None of the solid state companies appear close to scaling production. Likely the sulfur chemistries will beat them to market with far superior material cost and density and scalability. Solid state still has a good opportunity in cell phones / laptops / etc, which is a big market, but the real play in batteries is grid storange and tranportation, which will dwarf phones/laptops by several orders of magnitude in volume.

    The never even claimed to have their first medium scale production facility before 2024 and only then going into medium scale production. Their first real factory isn't planned until later this decade. Not sure where people got the idea that they claimed they are on the verge of large scale production. They were on a little bit more then lab scale production.
