It’s more than just their batteries, their motors are much more compact and lightweight while still being able to compete with the Germans and Tesla in terms of power output. They’re also masters at vehicle packaging, and with the extraordinarily positive reception to the Sapphire they can also make a large heavy EV drive like the ICE champions in the sports sedan sector.
I do hope the company can survive to make vehicles in a class below the Air and Gravity, but even if they don’t that tech will be highly sought after by the legacy manufacturers and work its way into future cars regardless.

While all that is true we don’t know whether they’re just using top end equipment that competitors could be using as well but won’t for cost reasons.
Cost efficiency in manufacturing and components is where competitive advantage lies, not just pure specs.
