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

Some skeptics have gone much further than that, calling the Donut battery impossible.
The fact that they're taking their time addressing critics might just be an indication that they are making those deals. Time will tell.

I think if they were doing so then there would not be much point in trying to market to the internet at large.

They haven't said a peep since CES over a month ago where they very quietly talked about their battery, no big fan fare. They seemed to be keeping a pretty low profile, it was all the YouTubers that started a huge hype train. That drove a lot of understandable skepticism, and now they're getting third party tests done to settle the question, no doubt because some investors got nervous about all the skepticism.

#16Turning verification of your basic claimed battery specifications into a slow drip PR event is certainly a choice.
I'd suspect the next set are charge cycle tests so that will take some time. I was certainly skeptical of the C rate claims and those are quick to do and kick out.

#17This is most definitely a scam. The battery was not verified to be what they claim it is. It could have been ordered from Temu and packaged to a new wrapping. All the testers did was verify something about how it charges and discharges.
They did not invent in secrecy and zero budget a battery worth a Nobel prize.
This is a scam.

#18Could it be that they are just squeezing a 3rd party battery over its safety limits to make it "real".
When ar they supposed to put the Verge motorcycle on the roads?
