Title is a bit misleading.
To geeks, "production hell" sounds like "they're in the process of mass producing, and they're running into all sorts of problèms, but we'll see something any time soon." Kinda like the 6 months of crunch before a AAA game is released after 3 years of production.
Except, the rest of the article makes it very clear that as far as production grade, mass marketable models of solid state batteries, we're more in the Hollywood version of "production hell", where no one has anything good to show, everybody is making press release, and we're rewriting the script until it barely looks like anything.
But, hey, we'll get more "breakthroughs" headlines any time now, so that's what matters ?

- cyanydeez 3y agoproduction hell for a capitalist is when everyone is buying your product, but it's turned into a commodity that the government has to treat like a strategic resource and contemplates nationalizes, but refuses to buy out and prefers to give just enough incentive that there's no justification to quit.
