I realize not everybody knows the background and goals of QS, but if you do, skip the history lesson and start the video @time 13:00. Sounds like an exciting time. If I was 40 years younger, I'd be working there.
Ok, I watched the whole video to be sure I'm not missing anything. But still frustrated for not getting any concrete and/or new information. What's the throughput of of Raptor & Cobra? Why not adopt directly Cobra? How many QSE-5 BEV battery packs/month can be manufactured with your Raptor/Cobra equipment& processes? Who's your commercial launch partner? Volkswagen? If it's VW, why don't you name them explicitly, they have even seats on your board. If it's not Volkswagen, it's even weirder, why are they NOT your launch partner while they're the main partner? Is it Porsche, or Is it a niche player, because of small manufacturing scale? Please don't recycle old information to make new videos. I don't think QS has anything to gain anymore not to disclose information. This is the time to come out of secrecy, guys. People already think you're fraud anyway (I don't), see the stock price. Any tangible information is better than no information at this stage.. Edit after 10 months: I now THINK this company is FRAUD. Insider selling accelerated heavily, ex CEO dumping $1,5M worth of shares monthly. I came to believe that this company (as mentioned by many others for so long) is a DEI scam. They always knew their 'separator' would be impossible to manufacture at scale.
They are not going to share output rates of Raptor or Cobra because it's speculative until the equipment is actually installed, qualified, and tested. Then after the first few production runs there will definitely still be a few teething problems that mechanics and engineers will need to iron out. That's just normal in real life manufacturing. Then they can do a capability test. I'm sure they have targets for the output rates, but sharing those numbers publicly at this stage would be a terrible idea. It's just a recipe for investor lawsuits or the SEC breathing down their neck. They will share capabilities of Raptor and Cobra with the finance world when they are certain it will not hurt them.
Raptor is just retrofitting the old equipment. It’s make less sense just to toss our the recent orders might as well get some testing done on it help iron out the manufacturing.
I don’t think he’s reading from a teleprompter. I think he’s either looking at some other camera in the room (e.g., not knowing which to look at), or maybe his brain just defaults to avoiding eye/camera contact. Either way, he’s clearly a bright guy.

Thajks for saving my time
Thanks for the update! Next time please do a mic check before the interview!
Bring it on Quantumscape! Looking forward to the successful product launch.
I appreciate all the teams hard work, can't wait,
Exactly what we needed
The applications over EV makes this so exciting. Imagine mobile and tablet devices with longer battery life and shorter charge times. Game changer!
“Cobra is the endgame” 📈
Your left and right audio channels are swapped in this video.
Nice work

Why does Tim read off the teleprompter the entire time instead of making eye contact with Asim?
I don’t think he’s reading from a teleprompter. I think he’s either looking at some other camera in the room (e.g., not knowing which to look at), or maybe his brain just defaults to avoiding eye/camera contact. Either way, he’s clearly a bright guy.
Thanks 👍
When (Date) can I buy a new EV with a 500 mile QS battery?
日本の投資家です、コブラは電池生産の革命を起こすと思います！
Nice uodate, show some new data next time
