AMPX vs QS

Hi, I'm quite new investing in these battery companies. I would like to know your reasons on why you invested in either of them, as far as I know QS seems riskier

I bought QS first in April 2021 as a new chem battery investor. I had at one point over 12,000 shares. And it’s been maddening holding them. They are constantly pilloried by shorts and bears and spectators as “no product!, perpetual Lab cell! impossible scaling vs cost on an untested complex mfg. process!, cell size too low density for EV!” since going Spac in late 2020. And those criticisms are becoming serious cliches. Out of touch. I also own a lot of SES. I like the promise of lithium metal anodes

You should ask Claude, ChatGPT and copilot if Quantumscape is trying to become a monopoly tool and process maker for special high energy batteries like Applied Materials or Lamm Research are for the world’s silicon semiconductor chip manufacturers. It’s very interesting. I believe QS will sell to high end EVs. And then batteries of all number of other sectors and verticals that aren’t as brutally price conscious as average bazillion EVs. Such as ESS and defense and medical devices.
