Looks Like TTT is Dead?

[Mach1E]

Saw an article the other day that BYD will be coming out with solid state batteries in their ev's in 2027. More energy density and less weight not to mention the charging and fire resistance that also comes with solid state. I will believe it when I see it but here is hoping our country will allow selling them if this happens. May see these batteries in other EV's also. My buy NA loyalty and pride has weakened as of late.

Not sure if that is the same throughout the world including Europe. More expensive living on an island and may appear EU feels the same and not just for Tesla. The problem is obvious.

Saw an article that Dodge is coming out with solid state in 2027. ?‍

Maybe you shouldn’t give up on your “Buy NA pride” so easily? ?

That said, even IF we do get solid state in 2 years (huge big IF), consumers may not be as excited when we see the price tag.

Not sure how everyone is claiming 2 years away for actual production and we haven’t seen a single working prototype. That seems odd.

Just remember, nuclear fusion has been just “10-15 years away” for the past 50 years ???

But dodge is not NA owned.

Working reality but not commercialized. I believe we will see solid state lithium batteries before fusion vehicles. I thought China's Olympic transport vehicles were solid state?

Not technically. But I would still call Dodge an American brand and the Charger is built in North America.

Either way it’s waaaaay more American than the Chinese solid states you referenced. ?


What’s interesting reading that article is the Dodge “solid states,” is actually a gel.

So should we refer to it as a “mushy state” battery?

Over the past 8 - 10 months and in earnest since we purchased the MME, I've been "investing" (modest "couch change") in a solid state battery manufacturer in Louisville, Colorado: Solid Power, Inc. Shares are at around $1.10 (no dividends), but the company has since entered an agreement of sorts with Ford, so I figured it was worth a try. My early 2015 gamble on Tesla enabled me to retire on the dump of all of it when Musk showed his ass; so, I'm hoping "SLDP" will grow similarly if not as spectacularly given our current leader's infatuation with coal, gas, and the early 1800s.

The incumbent of the FTI contract was NEVER going to be selected by the FAA for the follow-on FENS contract. Verizon was selected by default.

It’s just interesting how a bunch of SpaceX employees unawarded the contract from Verizon and awarded it to SpaceX ?

Interesting interview with Doug Fields on Ford’s software architecture pivot.

 

[ChasingCoral]

Correct. But TTT has always been touted as the “next generation of electric truck” in the stuff I’ve seen from Ford. I’m not sure of the relationship between TTT and FNV4? Given previous statements, I assumed the two were related?

You know what they say about assume.

You know what they say about assume.

It wouldn’t be the first time someone has said that about me ?
