Jagdeep did such a fabulous job at explaining his tech! Respect!
👋🏻
@@battousaihimura Oi oi 👋
Be careful with this guy. The VCs associated with QS are known to be scammers.
@@Lduke32 Share the sources otherwise it’s just conjecture.
Full disclosure at the beginning, I like that!
Glad you liked it!
Sandy is getting us common nerd men into the room with the movers and shakers of the electric car industry, and discussing the realities and details of making these next generation vehicles. IDK how and why he is doing this, but as a retired engineer, I really appreciate that he is willing and able to do this. I look forward to every new video and tell all my friends about this channel. Thank you, Sandy!
Thanks Eddie! We appreciate your views and that you let people know about us!
An automotive engineer genius and world class battery and materials scientist in the same room, we're spoiled by you Sandy! Thanks for this interview!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Jagdeep is world class battery and material scientist???
Jagdeep is a computer science major, don't know if he is world class though.
@@akhtarkh why wouldn't you?
MBA and computer science sounds like a real materials scientist
A CEO who is technical, articulate and speaks science rather than Wall St BS. And for the haters, he is a Sikh of Indian descent.
No haters. But if there were, what would they even be hating?
I appreciate that Jagdeep wasn't shy about answering the tough questions. I didn't feel he was evasive or spin doctoring his responses. He said what he could and shared just enough to gain some trust back after a crappy go with the media. I found his responses thoughtful and intelligent.
Jagdeep nailed that part.. the best deterrent is to prove them wrong. Jumping up and down and getting tied up in court is generally a waste of your time.. heads down.. grind out those products and get cars on the road using your batteries and proving your product works.. and you win. They will try to derail you at every turn.. but keep your heads down and build those products. You guys are on a good path if you execute well.. super interview Sandy! Great info, topic and person to interview
Love this channel! Such a breath of fresh air, to not have to hear all this automotive journalist influencer bull about wraps and rims. Finally something about the real engineering behind the product!
Thanks, glad you are enjoying the content!
The good:
1. Interesting topic, battery chemistry in the coolest thing on this planet now.
1. Found a knowledgeable and interesting partner to talk to.
2. Prepared list of great questions.
3. Did not interrupt.
The bad:
Nothing
Congratulations, it was a pleasure to listen.
It is a huge pleasure to listen to two really smart, experienced, and well-informed people talk about a subject that will have so much positive influence on this planet. Responsible humans who are trying to make an improvement in our world. Thanks for your work. Full disclosure: I’m too old to profit by fit, but I am investing in QuantumScape. Sort of want one of those Estonian 3-wheelers too, but that’s another subject...
Amazed you were able to go down avenues with him no one else has or would! Shed so much light into this entire issue, and QS as well. Thanks Sandy 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating interview. I didn't think Sandy was a big chemistry guy, but his questions were actually good.
Glad you liked it! Sandy has a very young and curious soul!
Yep I'm really loving these candid interviews with industry leaders who are really making a difference. Maybe Sandy can have a long sit down with Thomas Healy next. He seems well spoken with a good grasp on what actually works for class 8 trucks in the here and now and has industry support also.
watch limiting factor , you can also become chemistry guy.
@@madhusudhanmsd1321 I'm wondering if the CEO is going to go on TLF... I'd trust TLF to analyze and give corrections on future episodes (he wouldn't have time to research before, but might be able to if he sees this video)...
@@MunroLive Do you think you think Quantumscape will be commercially successful ?
Jagdeep & the whole QuantumScape team, thank you so much for your hard, smart work and dedication. You are true heroes.
Kinda easy with that use of the word hero. What is heroic about their commercial venture?
Great interview. Sandy is a real authority. Love it. Thank You.
I'm loving how Jagdeep uses SI exclusively for his units, a true man of science and engineering.
My girlfriend is enhanced with SI
What’s SI?
Your comment just scared off more retail investors...🤣😂
An engineer who works in imperial units isn't worth an ounce of salt 😀😀😀
@@Nderak
System Internationale - meters, kilograms, seconds.
As opposed to imperial units - ounce, inch/ feet/ yards, seconds.
Math is easy in SI and idiotic in imperial units
Despite all the craziness we keep seeing on the news, because of innovative guys like this I actually feel really good about our future
We seem to have the technology we need to control global warming. Even if nothing better was developed we could move to at least a carbon negative state in a couple of decades with not that much effort. Additional technology developments will make the job easier.
Time to get on with the task at hand. Minimize extreme climate change. Reduce air and water pollution. Reduce health problems caused by pollution. And enjoy less expensive energy and travel.
@Alex McAuliff agree with you. There's a lot more to learn on TH-cam than on ordinary news
Really important interview. Hopefully we see production mid-decade and real-world data affirms the initial promise.
The world needs more batteries, more EVs. If these performance specs hold up in production, this decade will be spectacular for advances in batteries with higher density, better safety, faster charging, improved durability...
These improved performance specs will unlock new applications: cargo, aviation, robot mobility and more, not just cars.
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
We agree! This decade is going to be very exciting for the automotive industry.
Nice interview. Early, long term investor in QuantumScape and really looking forward to their future.
Remember, it's easier to be a critic than it does to be an innovator.
Fantastic interview Sandy with Jagdeep. He is a extremely talented and interesting person.
As an Indian , I am amused by how the Indian-Americans are so driven to make new stuff there. Its a real inspiration for me ,I hope Indian youths get interest in technology.
Anyways , Sandy you are great. Of course! I still love you .
Wow, what an Interview! And what a great insight into QuantumScape. Thanks Sandy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Holy smokes Sandy, you got another Tech 'Whale' to sit down for an interview. Who's's next?
This guy really knows his stuff! I was impressed with how solid of a handle he had on pretty much every subject and tangent as well as the landscape of the market and competition. Thanks for this interview!
Great interview! When I see someone speak without bluster and denigration of their competition, and speaking to the real issues involved to create a product, I have a lot more trust in their ability to do the job. This speaks very well of QuantumScape
From computer science to batteries, that's fascinating.
Trying to cover all the bases!
Very impressive interview with Jagdeep Singh, I wish QuantumScape well and will be paying close attention to their battery development.
REALLY great to see a CEO ANSWER every single question thrown at him him so thoroughly. Hopefully they can deliver a product that can be fully scaled up.
I doubt that. The other car company supposedly interested in them is stellantis. And the stellantis ceo said he doesn't like evs. And we all know how much we can trust vw
We've got No one in the UK like Sandy, so grateful to have discovered him and increased my knowledge of cars.. From the inside out.
Thanks for tuning in! Consider subscribing to keep up to date on all our upcoming videos.
That's literally the opposite of correct. First of all there are so many that even most of the American car lead engineers are from UK. UK is hub for car design. Look at lucid and rivian and Faraday for example
Try to get anyone on Yt to teach us.you mean British Leyland, Morris and Austin.
There's no one here public.. Mclaren, lotus, AM Never hear from anyone
@@ghostfacesam you can say the same thing about aerospace.
This is the type of in depth video I wanted thanks you may not be invested but I sure am. Jagdeep has been starting companies based on simplify and scale. I hope he follows through with this one not just for my investment. Another great mind of our time
As an engineer myself I really enjoy to listen to a knowledgeable person with passion in his field. on the other side if I have to listen to a car salesman or an agent of an insurance company, i want to punch them in the face. this was great. not wasted time at all. especially the graph of the timeline with the milestones looked very plausible. i think it is a great development. and at the end we get real world 600km instead of real world 300km of range for the at least the same price. (well, when i talk about real world range, I talk aber 130km/h. I don't drive the full range with 75km/h, that would be insane).
also with 400-500Wh/kg we will see short distance electric flights too. what a great future :-)
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe to see a lot more content in the near future!
I’m watching this for the second time. I’m an investor and find this interview reassuring during the short attack. Getting good information is tremendously helpful and so rare. Thanks Sandy!! Great job.
What information stood out to you? 💯
Sandy, many THANKS for conducting this interiew! It's really encouraging when someone with your credentials takes the time to investigate a disruptive technology and get the facts out on the table... P.S. I hate short sellers!
Could you activite the transcript? 😀 Google should automatically create it and it's probably sitting there waiting to be 'published.' Folks like me use the transcript to search the video for specific words and discussion points.
Looking forward for your analysis of this info
Waiting for your thoughts on these intv..
His comment on “prototyping (chemistry) is hard, manufacturing is easy” smells fishy...Tesla spent months if not years trying to iron out processes such as DBE.
Hey Jordan , Its nice to see you here man.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this Jordan!
The explanation from a technical overview and how they are running the business and positioning themselves for production is incredible. The depth of knowledge is impressive
I really value Sandy digging in deep with these guys and asking all the right questions I'd never think about. Fantastic insight into a much talked about company that has passed me by a lot because I don't have the knowledge or experience to determine what data's relevant.
Thanks for unlocking the fascinating strides these innovators are making in pushing our future forward.
Really like Singh - he’s super clear on the technical details.
For a person that can explain complex topics and can use the vocabulary so it is understood by the masses is genius..and back it up with facts and can acknowledge criticisms..This is tue leadership!
New intro is lit ❤️🔥
Munro is good at pronouncing indian names lol 😂
Thanks, we like the intro as well! Please consider subscribing and we'll try to keep bringing more great content!
GREAT VIDEO. RETIRED 77, USAF VET. SOUNDS LIKE TOYOTA AND QUANTUMSCAPE PROGRESS ON SOLID STATE BY ADDING LAYERS TO TEST BATTERY. NETHER COMPANY WORKING ON RAMP UP TO A BATTERY FACTORY. THAT MEANS YEARS BEHIND TESLA.
The world needs more forward looking people like these, who truly believe in making a difference...
Thank BOTH of you. This was (IS) an important step towards our ever improving future. And Sandy, at 74 I remember Frank's song That's Life - how true.
Great interview by Jagdeep. Should do more of these to help educate its investors and the public.
Thank You Sandy! Was waiting for this. Great choice 👌
Thank you for sticking with us! Please consider subscribing and we'll try to keep bringing more great content!
Great video Sandy! Really enjoying the longer format conversations to really flesh out topics along with covering the real world usability of these products.
Very cool, this is awesome stuff. Going deep on technology coming in the next 3-4 years. Yes!!
Thank you for tuning in. We are excited for the future of the automotive industry!
Very interesting video. It seems to me that Jagdeep Singh is an honest broker. I feel that way about Elon Musk as well. Both men are surrounded by gifted people with a vision. Thanks Sandy.
I don't disagree with this technology being promising. However calling their batteries solid state because they contain a nonometer level solid state separator, but still contain gels, is like saying that a cup of tea is a cup of sugar, because it was sweetened with a couple of sugar cubes. For my mind this is a solid state hybrid battery, a semi-solid-state battery if you will.
Rather than naming your product after something it is not, simply to benefit from the favourable conatations associated with the name. The better way would be to call your product something else and explain why that something else is good in its own right.
Any company that misleads in the very categorisation of their primary product, earns my skepticism right off the bat. But, I will give them the benefit of the doubt, as they did offer some interesting insights. Great interview Sandy, you were fair, and unbiased, and were unafraid of asking some tough and pointed questions.
Fascinating interview! When it gets to material science, this my world I always loved. I love you Sandy! I was privileged to have a discussion with him on my podcast, truly smart guy!
Glad you enjoyed it!
In your podcast, will you jsk him why he doesn't just sue Scorpion?
Thanks for bringing this up! I was wondering if I should, but I am not sure whether he would be interested in answering, but I will try 😊
@@marwaeldiwiny As far as we know, QS is backed by Soros amd Gates. If the Scorpion's accusation is a lie, would'nt these heavyweight billionaires want the CEO to defend the company's reputation? I look forward to your podcast and thanks for making it happen. Very interesting
@@July-xr5uk Thanks a lot, indeed this a very important question since there a lot of speculation, it sounds tricky, but I will try. Thanks
I don’t own any shorts or anything like that on QS, but I wish Sandy would have asked some more difficult questions like “what is your number 1 challenge in scaling your tech?”. This guy came across as way more reserved and humble, but many things he said were along the lines of what Trevor Milton said. It’s obvious he tried to downplay the challenge to scale their tech. And the legit question is will this tech improve and scale fast enough to compete with traditional li-ion chemistry which is on a clear path to reduce costs and improve performance by a large percentage over the next 5 years.
I am thinking the same. His timeline of scaling speaks for itself. It is sitting at present for a while. Elon proved it with 7000 laptop batteries a BEV is doable. Why not he show a demo BEV with those prototype satchels he has? No wonder shorts are seeing another Theranos in the making.
So much of our infotainment today is a wasteland, why bother watching TV.
However this is must See Non-TV!
Outstanding Interview Gentlemen!
As someone who spent sometime in the design arena, you have to learn engineer-speak to communicate to get the job done. To hear two engineers not only talk about this highly technical subject matter but to make it not so lofty that the non-technical can understand it is a gift.
I look forward to a follow on(s) Mr. Munro. As a fan of Gen-Av, I'd love to see question about the potentiality of Solid State Batteries and or clients in this arena for QS's cells, as well as interviews with their competitors.
Perhap PAV-2.0 could be a thing in the future....
Great interview . Jagdeep commented about attracting employees that weren't just there for the paycheque , That's easier to do when the CEO is also there for something other than a paycheque.
I just read VW and Quantemscape are building a 1 GWh solid state factory this year. Exciting!
Glad to see the founder answer questions in detail and with confidence, and knowing his competition is impressive.
Time to see the Sandy effect 🚀🚀🚀
Great work Sandy, these types of conversations great to hear.
Sandy, thank you so much for providing this information that we would not have been able to get anywhere else. Jagdeep Singh has the right mind set for long term success and I believe he will have the nay sayers eating crow sooner than later.
No problem! It's what we do.
Awesome I learned so much. A real discussion. Congrats Sandy.
Yes to all of this!
I love learning more .
Us too! Please consider subscribing to keep up to date on all our new videos!
Thank you! This is really appreciated. I would like to see more of these interviews. It is so much better than a random journalist that isn't an engineer and can't ask the right questions. You know what you are talking about!
Super interview - I learned a lot. ⚡ Thanks ⚡
Our pleasure!
Thanks to Sandy I'm now able to say "and what not"! Without strange 🤔looks!
God Bless
thanks for going the extra mile
Awesome interview. Lots of information here I hadn't heard before. I also would have liked to hear discussion about Dr. Goodenough's Glass battery. Thanks again for this great content
Thanks a lot Sandy. I've been looking forward to this. I'm from sanjose, would love to discuss with you about cars. Love your work.
May be the most important video you have ever done. Trusted Technology reviews are needed and appreciated. Thanks.
Impressed about the Interview. Great job discussing about facts and figures. Greatings from Switzerland.
Awesoooome as always ! I thought I'll watch just a few minutes to see what is it all about ... ended up watching the whole thing.
Thanks @tbyte!
Will wait for the product to come out. In many many years!
First class interview, you have both projected yourselves well. Well done.
This interview will enable me to point other people to this interview so they also can be enlightened as I have been.
Munro gives us learning in quite easily understood format, outstanding!!!
Thank you both for a great discussion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jag is a smart cookie and very well articulated.
Very informative. If you are impressed then this company has a bright future.
I had no idea that Mr. J Singh was the founder/CEO of QuantumScape. I feel truly proud as a brown guy with similar background myself. Amazing accomplishment and thank you for being an awesome example to us. Hope you keep succeeding
Amazing interview! I am an electrical engineer but I’m not working in the field of batteries. However Ifund it verry important and interistin. This interview was really amazing with lots of interesting details. It really filled in some of the gaps for me about the state of the art in solid state battery development. Thanks Jagdeep's and Sandy! I would probably even go so far as to say this is the best video on solid-state batteries I’ve seen in the last three years.
Nothing but respect for these two gentlemen. Much continued success to you both.
Great video Sandy, one of the better ones to come out of your channel. I do hope that Jagdeep and his team manage to prove their points, and wish them the best with future scaling.
Very good interview. I am really loving these interviews Sandy does with industry disruptors. I hope he does more in the future.
Wow...Brilliant work! Right out of the future!
I bought some QS stocks thanks to this interview, hope that they can manufacture batteries at competing cost
Sandy is everywhere!
Great stuff.
Impressive work and talk Sandy!
Excellent interview Jagdeep defended his company like a gladiator, I wish Steve burns who’s company I love and believe in could do the same.
Amazing interview. Didn’t know what to expect, but that was great content.
Outstanding.
Those boots are something else.
Glad you think so!
@@MunroLive If the whole tearing down cars doesn't work out, you could be a fashion icon!
Awesome interview! Very informative and inspiring.
Great interview, this was needed to counter all the FUD, my only concern long term is if they can get the cost of this battery down to be able to compete with what Tesla will have in 2025.
Excellent conversation! Thanks a lot, Sandy! You are a GEM, Jagdeep :)
I've got that table in my living room!
Noguchi table
That can only mean one thing; they are in your living room.
fascinating early look into the technology! honestly surprised how much he openly disclosed. I wonder if they have patent on the seperator material.. I'd imagine just knowing its a flexible ceramic gives some folks out there an idea of the composition of the clay. once one units out there, i'd imagine they fear it being reverse engineered, both the ceramic portion as well as the gel. I really enjoyed this and all of the long form conversations frankly. I am no engineer but must be engineering minded because everything you talk about makes sense to me and I find it very interesting. he and the team there clearly know this stuff inside and out and have tried all the other ways and know how and why they failed. it'll be interesting to see if everyone else tries to chase them. Vw money will make sure these guys are around for the next few years at least, hope it works as they intend to with scaling going well!
Great interview & here’s hoping they get into ful scal production very soon!
*full *scale 😬
Great interview, thanks Jagdeep, Sandy. Well educated discussion.
This is the most compelling video on Munro Live right now. Battery tech is where most of the improvements are possible and is the current bottleneck.
Car manufacturers are quite good at testing batteries and see the potential in new designs. It was interesting to see how in-house supply has changed to out-source.
Great interview thanks Sandy
The content of this channel is just getting better and better!
Thank you Sandy and Munro Associates. Great interview, very informative and helpful.
Wow this is a fantastic interview! I foresee huge things in their future. That's super exciting. Thanks for bringing this to us! Great job Sandy!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
