Ah, Mercedes-Benz, the pride of Germany, where ‘cutting-edge’ means waiting until the last possible minute to roll out prototypes. With their latest ‘solid-state’ batteries, it’s not even the full monty; it’s more like the ‘semi-solid-state’ dance. They’re claiming a 25% range boost, but let’s not forget, that’s like promising a diet without ever removing the cookies from the kitchen. Plus, 600 miles on a lighter, smaller battery? They’ve got the Germans’ sense of humor all wrong. It’s like saying you’ve ‘solved’ the traffic problem by adding more parking spaces. And Factorial Energy, huh? Naming your battery company after a math problem seems like a roundabout way to say, ‘We don’t have a clue.’ But hey, it’s a step in the right direction, even if it’s a small step in a very, very long road.
