They’ve been openly working on new battery tech that’s apparently going to change the entire industry. I’m pretty sure they have plenty of interest in selling them, they just don’t have the tech they want for them yet.

Those types of announcements are their equivalent of Tesla’s “full-self driving next year guys!” every year since like 2015?
