Stop it. Now we are going to get 10 threads from people wondering if they should delay their Rivian order until it can have a diamond wafer inverter.

What have I done??

And solid state batteries that are triple the density of current batteries and can charge 0-100% in six minutes are only three years away……. As of ten years ago.

Not holding my breath waiting for any of these advancements. Whenever they actually come available in a shipping vehicle, great. Until then, they're interesting science projects.

What is the upgrade path? Probably not a do it yourself install.

Don't forget about the 99% efficiency wireless charging at 3 feet that will lead to charging-over-the-road.

Just what we need…. Some tweaker is going to cut out my inverter to get at the diamonds.

Yeah, but Tesla's inverter tech is better than this.
