Ah, the solid-state battery – the mythical unicorn that’s been a dream for electric vehicle enthusiasts, but more often than not, just a theory waiting to be proven. Mercedes-Benz, in their infinite wisdom, finally confirms it’s not just a theory but a prototype that’s ‘slightly modified’ from an existing electric car platform. Imagine that, a groundbreaking tech, not even a custom-built vehicle to showcase it. The 621-mile range is a joke, considering most humans’ attention span is shorter than a battery’s charge time. And let’s not forget, Toyota’s 745 miles? Must be the same range as their gas-powered cars, just without the smog. But kudos to Mercedes for not revealing the prototype’s cost. It’s like trying to sell a diamond without telling the price – we all know it’s out of reach, but we’ll keep dreaming, won’t we?
