feels a bit overdone, given the freaking press release admits as much. We don't need meme copypasta here.

> “This proof-of-concept design shows that lithium-metal solid-state batteries could be competitive with commercial lithium-ion batteries,” said Li. “And the flexibility and versatility of our multilayer design makes it potentially compatible with mass production procedures in the battery industry.

From the article they don't appear to be making such a claim:

> Scaling it up to the commercial battery wont’ be easy and there are still some practical challenges, but we believe they will be overcome

Do you have anything concrete to say about this technology?

> [ ] it is incapable of delivering current at sufficient levels.

is this a problem? I mean li-ion cells used by tesla only have around 4 volt and ~3000mA. I would consider size per cell/thermal per cell (as you stated warm/cold environments and charging) more important to make a good distinction.

Watching latest Sandy Munro's videos it seems big issue with solid state batteries at the moment is indeed operating temperature. Current one's deployed are operating at 80C which is OK for constantly utilised vehicles, but not personal cars.

In this case, which cross(es) are the most likely candidates for being crossed ?

I choose to interpret the post as a sort of subversion of the usual way this meme is used: none of the boxes are checked, so in this case the battery technology has actually passed the rather rigorous battery-technology-skeptic's filter. The post is rather ambiguous, though.

At least check a few of the boxes. It will lead the discussion properly.

FWIW, this is a meme reference. See: https://craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt.

I have no idea what makes you think they weren't aware this was copied.
