The only question that would pertain to a QS in comparison to EFLVF is:

With all of EFLVF's proclaims about its LITHIUM ION Battery, Ceramic Separator and Solid State IP and Patent Portfolio is/are there any potential claims against QS that EFLVF can make as to its protected processes and hardware.

Short of that EFLVF would be better served to find a way to augment what QS is doing.

QS has ample cash on hand to get to production in q4 2023/q1 2024 without having to go back to the well of Wall Street; all the while knowing Volkswagen and Bill Gates are eager to back their early wagers; Cannot be said for a EFLVF which struggles from Q to Q operating on the fumes of order backed revolving credit and no notable investors (yet) with enough skin in the game to support EFLVF's undoubtable need for cash to even dream of self production. 

The scenario in BEV's, such as buses, is just as dire for EFLVF, just look into the latest press release from Proterra a company filling LiON battery orders for electric buses for over a decade and just got another major order.

EFLVF can succeed but not as a stand-alone company, it needs to Partner and do it fast.
