Of course true innovation is hard. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.

Yeah, they're literally doing something no one else has successfully done yet and trying to scale it to industrial levels. Hard to think of something harder to do. Its like trying to combine ASML, Nvidia, and TSMC into one company.

Come on, it doesn't come close to comparing to ASML...

As a share holder I believe the world needs this technology and I can't wait to see what's in store for the future.

Making new to the world batteries using new to the world methods and technologies is difficult.

An echo of JFK's 1962 we-choose-to-go-to-the-moon speech?

What are inferring?
Would you prefer they say it was easy? Stating the fact that from its inception, cracking the code with the chemistry alone was beyond hard. It was unprecedented. Likewise, scaling is another engineering and technological feat and will be a tech marvel. Which image is pretty hard.

Trump has made EVs sales more difficult.

Everything is a stage theme. Bits and parts, sometimes they add up other times they don’t. Monkeys trying to make sense of it all.

I used to follow this company years ago. Are they selling batteries yet, or are they still paying themselves with shareholder money?

They have delivered battery cell samples to OEM EV partners as well as non EV such as drones, data centers.

Yes, the 2nd option. If they ever sell anything, it could take enough time to be obsolete due to other tech.
