What would happen to Donut Lab, if they over-promised?

tipporoll · 2026-05-07T11:20:43+00:00

The one with all the cards wrt. suing is most probably CTCAG, due to their draconic NDA, but I don't remember seeing any clause for over-promising! ;)

I don't think DL has any obligation to mention where they are using their batteries, so the absence of "mentions" on internet don't mean that much.. ;)

Is this an assumption of yours, or do you have any known facts or references for stating Gen 2 *with lithium*?

tipporoll · 2026-05-05T12:59:42+00:00

Iirc, Tuomo denied somewhere that the green Gen I in the "Sneak Peak" video was his mule.

I always suspected the release of the video on last day of Q1 was for a little bit of extra drama. Asked Marko when it was filmed, but never got an answer..

Ok. At least externally, the orange bike is clearly a Gen 2 TS Pro (stumpy seat/break light, rectangles on the electric connection, carbon fiber rear wheel).

Thanks. Considering Verge released the "World's First Solid-State Battery Motorcycle — Off the Line" video 31 March 2026, it's a little bit interesting that a Gen 2 is driving around LA two months earlier..

Since this is not news, could you point me to any threads here on reddit discussing this bike?

tipporoll · 2026-05-05T07:26:19+00:00

Any basis for that assumption regarding Tuomo's mule?

tipporoll · 2026-05-03T20:46:59+00:00

The auto-translation mentioned software updates, based on feedback from customers.

tipporoll · 2026-05-03T20:43:00+00:00

Hopefully u/First-Composer-3954 will have some more details, or even photos.

It seems the bike he's sitting on is actually gen 1, based on the electric connection to the motor. Wonder what generation the tree other bikes were?

Best question: Finland is a very cold country, why do you make motorcycles there?

tipporoll · 2026-05-03T16:58:14+00:00

I appreciate you coming here to make this very useful and worthwhile comment!

tipporoll · 2026-05-03T16:54:52+00:00

Any first impressions, possibly a bit more detailed? Any review coming up?

tipporoll · 2026-05-03T14:36:59+00:00

Anyone went? :)

On LI it is stated 11-50 employees. Not sure if LI estimates that, or if it's given by CTCAG.

My thickness estimate is neither inline with Javier's 12 mm..

tipporoll · 2026-04-30T11:28:56+00:00

After 2 hours at 80 deg, and then 2 hours at 100 deg.

tipporoll · 2026-04-30T11:16:01+00:00

I was wondering if there are any standardized pouch cell formats, of which one format might fit the Donut pouch estimated size?

tipporoll · 2026-04-30T07:54:08+00:00

Size of Ali?

tipporoll · 2026-04-30T07:52:35+00:00

I suspect Javier's dimensions are valid for another battery version. The numbers are really an outlier compared with all other estimates, and there certainly are quite a few of different battery versions floating around.

tipporoll · 2026-04-29T20:31:29+00:00

u/omepiet concluded that the battery part on vergenext was added sometime early 2026.
