This is freaky reading - Tesla will not be able to support the expanding EV industry with their current Lithium Thin batteries and they have a research team looking at alternatives and I feel sure we are on the list of battery technology they are looking at . Imagine if they choose us. Does the below snippet seem familiar and could explain the long drawn out IPO??

keep in mind: As is true for the whole field of commercial
high-tech developments, the most valuable and groundbreaking
research is almost always kept quiet. Also, a good portion of
university researchers, after publishing initial success with a new
method like the above, are hired into private industry where they
are forbidden from further publishing. This limits disclosure and
gives the appearance of one-off papers, where a promising method
is reported and then not heard of again. It's likely that there exists
a whole field operating in the dark, which could release explosive
news of success at any time.
2. One thing is certain, however: There are now thousands of 3rd
party confirmed methods which achieve drastic improvements over
existing thin-film Li-Ion battery technology. What are the odds that
every one of them will fail? Many of these improvements are 'drop-
in' types, like better and cheaper electrode formulations that can be
used with existing equipment. Again, what are the odds that
TSLA/Panasonic will manage to license the best tech for more than
a decade?

The article is quite long about 3 pages, but if anyone wants to look, I will post the link on the forum.
