Until now. This is it and they have production working.

I hope you're right, but I'll believe it when I see it.

A giant name like samsung and the auto makers they've teamed up with like Toyota aren't going to bullshit about the batteries being in production. There's no benefit to doing so. It's not like they're trying to raise investment capital.

Samsung is not the "bullshitter". Samsung did not write this article. Samsung didn't claim that these will be in cars or anywhere else anytime soon.

Yes they have. Not from this article, though. Same for Toyota. They announced a 2027(likely) solid state battery EV months ago.

As for "samsung didn't claim this", they put the battery on display at the trade show in Seoul, and it's been reported by tons of outlets. Samsung has very clearly announced it.

No they haven't. Samsung didn't say they have a 600 mile battery. The author did. Which is nonsense for a variety of reasons, which is exactly my point

They announced a 2027(likely) solid state battery EV months ago.

...likely? Based on what?

they put the battery on display

No one is trying to claim the battery doesn't exist so I'm not sure what your point is.
