#2This website serves as the platform for publishing validation results and technical documentation related to the Donut Solid State Battery. Donut Lab has commissioned the internationally renowned VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland to conduct independent measurements of the battery’s performance and key characteristics. Unless otherwise stated, all tests presented here have been conducted by VTT. Full reports will be published alongside detailed video documentation that walks through the procedures, showcases the test setups, and explains the results.

#4Turning verification of your basic claimed battery specifications into a slow drip PR event is certainly a choice.

Addressing them head on would be providing verification of your claims alongside the initial announcement, not being intentionally vague and then using reasonable skepticism as marketing.

If they did actually achieve something remarkable, giving the skeptics time to bury their own credibility has some advantages.

Addressing the claims one by one is still doing it head on. There's not some logic timeline for this stuff.
The slow drip of verification is a smart move IMO. It keeps them in the media for longer (Gabbo) and stops them from being lost in the other 1000 different battery announcement. Hopefully getting them funding I'm guessing they need to start full manufacturing.
That said, while this certainly is a promising battery based on the claims, I won't get my hopes up until there's an actual product I can buy.

I'm not sure being hesitant to accept claims without evidence is a mark against credibility.
I think stringing this out certainly has marketing advantages. But I think if they really had this kind of breakthrough they would be focusing on billion-dollar deals with manufacturers to ramp up capacity rather than internet hype marketing.
