Toyota says, "But we're going to deploy cold fusion solid state batteries Pretty Soon™."

That's why the major U.S. automakers including Tesla and Ford are using CATL batteries and CATL and BYD have over 50% of the world market for EV batteries; just vaporware...?

BYD and CATL batteries are already used in Tesla, Ford, BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Toyota, and several other leading automakers electric cars.

There's a lot to unpack here, but the 1.5 giga-metre battery (yes, Elon, you missed the "gigabattery" at 1 million km as a brand) is not the thing that struck me.

What struck me was a 50% reduction in cell prices for LFP.

Who cares about 1m or 1.5m km when we can expect 500,000 km out of a battery TODAY.

This is already way better than your diesel or should I say DIEsel engine needing $1500 parts replacing at 50,000km.

What matters is that people can produce enough batteries at a price that puts EVs at a price that is attractive for >50% of car buyers.
