Maybe it's too soon to say "Elon Musk, Tesla does not get it."

"We believe that Tesla, other companies making electric cars, and the world would all benefit from a common, rapidly-evolving technology platform." Elon Musk.

Mantra wants its technology to become the new standard. And you're making a good case for investors in disruptive tech to consider its progress.

It's likely that Tesla is following new battery research and seeking to solve the fire hazard, battery life, power density, and other problems and limitations of today's batteries. I'd guess Boeing is also very interested. Some recent news:

Bottom line: every research effort "next plans to build a proof-of-concept battery prototype to continue testing the concept, . . .

However, translating intriguing lab results into a mass-market battery may take some time. From the first promising lab-test results to high-quality, low-cost volume production generally takes five to 10 years."

Mantra's prototypes should catch their attention as well. A great tech race!
