Yeah.
From a practical perspective, like to someone who's maybe, you know, not as well versed in this, what's the practical advantage of, say, lithium metal over mainstream lithium ion that we use every day in our phones and such?
Wow.
Okay.
So that's really interesting.
It makes a lot of sense.
I guess up to now, this has really been a balancing act of how much battery can we put in and not cross this threshold where we're losing range based on the weight of the battery.
That's when you start looking at how can I make my seats lighter?
How can I build a lighter dash?
What can I make my motors out of that will be a little lighter?
I guess everywhere you can trim an ounce.
Yeah, and it's something you'd be more โ I like to say that Tesla kind of brought the cool factor to EGs.
That was a thing that was really missing was the idea that a car has always kind of been an extension of yourself in a way and representative of who you are.
And the little bitty smart cars were โ
You know, not very representative of most people in a lot of ways, I think.
It was a hang-up for me.
Does the supply have an effect?
I know that, you know, traditionally some of these metals are very geographically located and acquiring them is difficult, comes with a lot of struggles as well.
Does that play a role in...
pushing these things forward or the decision to stay with lithium, I should say.
