      BYD has been researching solid-state batteries since 2013. In 2023, it reached a milestone, demonstrating that mass production was feasible with various cell systems and materials.

      Old milestone, I guess?

        Yeah but, what’s the milestone?

        “Preparing the begin deliveries next year” is not a milestone, it’s a plan.

    As others have said, it isn’t clear what the ‘milestone’ is, but:

    BYD is now expected to begin producing solid-state batteries in 2027 in limited batches … The first two years will serve as a demo phase with limited production. Toward the end of the decade, the company expects to begin mass production as the new batteries are adopted at scale.
