I thought it foretelling that Rivian is proceeding with standard Lithium Ion batteries, yet holding off on actual battery plant investment until the bugs on solid state batteries are worked out. Volkswagen and Toyota appear to be doing the same for the next couple of years. Tesla probably has a 2 year lead on mass producing "standard" 4860 Lion batteries because they jumped in with 2 feet. That said, if solid state will eventually result in safer, faster, more energy dense batteries, Tesla will need to adopt that tech like everybody else. Any idea what this transition would look like? Will any of the equipment be transferable? What about the structural pack?
Does anybody out there believe that solid stat batteries are a hype to deflate Tesla's perceived lead. Seeds of doubt mentality?
