Battery or Super-capacitor seems to be a key question.

Battery or Super-capacitor seems to be a key question.

Since they clearly advertise it as a “battery,” yet the specs, price etc on the motorcycle haven’t changed a bit, it’s more just a question of “are they lying about parts of it or all of it?”

Why it can't be true? Its not Elon making the battery.

right, he's putting the battery in a Starship, orbital flight so it's frozen into space, and voilà, you have a Solid (frozen) battery, just like ice cream lol.
Sacré Musk.

It's a supercap

Toyota learned the hard way a super capacitor is not the way to go.

call me old-fashioned, but I prefer bullshit announcements from n°1 WW, in this case CATL :

Anyway, let's wait until we can drive one

That’s it?

My 20c battery is good for 20 million miles.

Maybe AI will publish a story about my claim.

really cheap, that was the cost of KWH in France 20 years ago, went up like crazy the past years but going down again, we're at ~14 cents euro at home, and about 29 cents at the lowest if you charge outside

lol, can't wait to change my house just to be able to fit this huge charging "plate" I've seen on the new Cayenne video

if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I went to this booth at CES and discussed with one of the engineers. He would not provide any information beyond the selling points (higher power density, fast charging, long life, cheaper to manufacture, etc), citing secrecy/IP. I left the conversation like many others thinking it was a scam but hoping/wishing I was wrong....for my entire career the big jump in battery tech has always been just on the horizon

It is very disparate in the US. 12 cents at home and .79 cent at Tesla per KW in Nevada.
