Some progress is being made, but it hasn’t seen large-scale adoption yet. Which is the point, as I read it.

It takes time to scale production and even more time to adopt a new technology.

The "progress" is typical industry bullshit. See the absolute bullshit around the Donut SS battery. Remember when Musk invented a battery with 30% better capacity? It was a 30% bigger battery. SS batteries require manufacturing facilities with clean rooms on the order of chip fabs. You may see these in 2027, but only in expensive cars.
