SSB

Ben_Banneker

Wow if SSB owns this, that would be one for the record books. Has a retail institution ever owned a stock before?

waitses

Does not matter where the power comes from or what materials go into it, it has to be stored in batteries and QS has the next gen SSB just working out gigascale production.

illiac1

YOLO and a 1 contract. This is below even the SSB.

RMFT009

That's what they claim anyway. There are 0 details outside of that. Pressure requirements, cycle life, safety, and cost are all unknown. No independently verified claims for SSB batteries made in China exist.

stickman07738

SSB have two inherent problems to overcome - thermal expansion (things swell when heated) thus significant thermal control will consume any cost and weight advantage and secondly, the degree of lithium intercalation will probably impact efficiency reducing battery life making them uneconomical. The intercalation is a key performance requirement to make batteries work. SLDP or QS - none of these have a lead in SSB technology. Honda, Toyota, SK, CATL, BYD are the leaders with Honda having a full scale demonstration plant. The big challenge is demostrating advantages in actual vehicles and establishing the safety and durability / longevity under driving conditions. I now see China SSB are in delay. I do not believe SSB will ever be fully commercially available due to technical issues. Semi-solid yes, but not true Solid-State.

Is this SSB (Small Street Bets) now?

ABCifyoulikeRoblox

Sorry, won't have the chanceto laugh. Made 60% and got out in less than a day. Wish it was WSB material...but I'll settle for $200 on SSB.

Visual-Big9582

SSB was created because of asshole WSB mods, so no they are not linked other by a similar sounding name

AveryPritzi

LOL, I'm out, I'm out. I did close it, luckily. I felt a little twinge in my colon when it fell from 28 mid to 25 and bought it back for a minor profit. Like 5 dollars. Then I just put that collateral into actual things that have dipped recently and into my ROTH IRA. So we're 35 dollars up in Vital, which is way better than 500 ish down. Phew! Good enough to Screenshot = Good Enough to Sell applies to SSB's too people

there’s a reason i posted in SSB and not WSB

This is NOT true . Most are not real SSB or scams.

No shortage ? Samsung's SSB need 1KG Ag per battery - and we're 12+ months away from commencing production. Take that shit graph and frame it for the future storytelling your descendants will be doing of your epic failure.

Any pre-revenue stock is risky, so this isn’t a recommendation to buy Quantumscape. Still, in the next-gen battery race, QS solid-state is the only tech that’s clearly better than current Li-ion when you look at the whole product. Factorial’s battery only wins on gravimetric energy density. It’s worse on cycle life at around 600 cycles in ideal conditions, likely less in real use, weaker on fast charging, and performs very poorly below 10-20°C. That’s why they pivoted away from their FEST polymer battery. Their sulfide SSB program only began last year and isn’t even lab-ready. What Mercedes tested was the FEST polymer battery, not sulfide. I could write a whole post on why sulfide is a dead end, but I’ll save that for later. QS, on the other hand, beats current Li-ion across energy density, cycle life, fast charging, safety, and long-term cost. The only real risk has been manufacturing the ceramic separator at scale. They addressed this in mid-2025 with the COBRA process, which enables scaling, and are now focused on improving yield with help from Corning and Murata. If they solve yield, costs should undercut Li-ion since the anode and the multi-week formation step are eliminated. If you’re tracking the stock, watch ceramic separator yield. That’s the first real trigger. If it lands, competition basically disappears and OEMs will be forced to license QS tech.

Jeff__Skilling

lmao, when I was working in IB, I was on the deal team for one of the aforementioned publicly traded SSB stocks mentioned in this thread. Holy shit tits was it a....how should I put this....interesting process hearing management pitch an IPO candidate that wouldn't be generating meaningful revenue for ~4ish years. Didn't stop institutional investors from hurling fists of capital at said management team left, right, and center though ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

stickman07738

SMR will become a reality, tech proven, the issue is government regulations and approvals. SSB - are not proven to be economical or reliable - huge steps and these companies have been working on SSB for over 20 years as I worked supplying them raw materials.

This is a terrible take. "Silver is going to record highs" "Samsung is producing a mass market SSB that relies on silver". These are mutually exclusive.

this is WSB sir, not SSB.

I stopped losing money when I stopped getting trading ideas from reddit. Literally any other source of ideas is better than crowd sourcing WSB or SSB. Think about it this way: the average reddit penny stocker or shit coiner is doing Ed, Edd, n Eddy levels of trades.

LibBot16

Makes what ok? He said SSB isn't for whatever the other dude wrote and I just said I thought it was for smaller trades. What am I implying?

LibBot16

I thought SSB was for people who could only trade with like $1,000 or less.

Atleast it's 10 and not 10k like some folks on SSB I'm still feeling 50 bucks i sold at a loss from SMBM (Bought at 3.10, sold at 2.90... watched it bounce to 7) It may be a speck of dust in the future tho, specially now seeing there's atleast 3 +100%ers everyday

SiphonicPanda64

That’s awesome you’ve been successful trading with Kelly Criterion the past week especially given your gain percentage but couple of issues here for anyone else looking to replicate this: 1. You can’t know the p-win rate with certainty Kelly formulas presume zero slippage, zero skew, and a repeatable without deviance edge, conditions that break in a stochastic market and are orders of magnitude magnified in a 0DTE options environment. 2. You can’t know gain/loss R with certainty Slippage, volatility expansion skew - all of those invalidate R and thus replicability. 3. Drawdowns are path dependent Kelly assumes IID (independent, identically distributed outcomes) 4. Kelly tells you maximally aggressive sizing Even in hedge funds the prevailing rule trade 1/3 to 1/4 Kelly. Never full Kelly. Full Kelly is future port insolvency waiting to happen. You’ve defined winning as scalping here, that’s fine, but without defining what “win” means your whole mathematical equation is invalidated. Is the win condition a - scalp? Spread? Iron condor? Defined risk? Undefined risk? Each yields a completely different expectancy so 65% here is completely arbitrary. 5. Strategy gain/loss is asymmetrical 0DTE directional trades don’t behave like symmetric 30/30 gain/losses. A typical 0DTE profile is small gains, occasional large losses, massive hidden tail risk. Treating these gains/losses as symmetrical ratios is mathematically wrong. 6. Transfixing a fixed-edge gambling RoR formula to a stochastic market is a dangerous oversimplification. The formulas actually being used to model RoR in variable volatility markets are far more complex. Your post (and your linked guide) aren't’t entirely wrong but they’re dangerously misleading for the average WSB or SSB Redditor to be taken at face value. 0DTE has massive skew, volatility regime shifts, non-linear payoff distributions, gamma explosions (bi-directional), slippage, tail events, liquidity holes, and overnight risk not taken into account in your model. Using Kelly on derivatives with concave payoff and a fat tail risk leads to eventual, not probabilistic, ruin given enough repetitions. Your eventual ROI is eventually mathematically, negative. Kelly’s biggest hole here is redefining a worst case, repeatable scenario but thst falls flat in an inherently volatile and stochastic environment. 0DTE disproves that every day. Institutionals never go full Kelly or even half Kelly but typically fractional kelly (0.1-0.25 Kelly), Expected Shortfall (ES), Value at Risk (var), Kelly-adjusted for variance on edge, dynamic volatility targeting, Gamma exposure limits, and stress test analysis

burner4lyf25

100% insecurity. I bet face to face this person is absolutely harmless, 30 year old basement dweller. Win, lose, draw, conflict, togetherness - this whole sub has its ups and downs - but there should be no place for anyone, anywhere who sees another’s anguish as something to laugh at, dismiss or use to score “big man” points Very very happy that everyone here, Im assuming even a lot of the anti-BYND group have spotted this guy as a gross cunt. SSB should just rid him, no place for him hed whatever side of the table hes on.

Fatalmistake

That's fair, but the dude is jobless and asking to invest all the money to his name, you could pick any stable stock and see it fall if the market turns into a bear market, he's not really making the best choices to begin with. I was just giving him a couple I think will take off in the next couple of years, 1 is expanding rapidly with multiple lines and facilities and is just starting to bring in revenue, the other is basically doing the same thing but is a few years away from possibly being the first SSB EV car supplier (currently first to SSB EV Motorcycle) At least I'm not telling him to yolo it into bynd lol

FatMacchio

I’ll let you in on a little secret. The moment one of these squeezes are allowed to be posted to WSB, that’s solely to provide exit liquidity. WSB is about shitposting (losses and ocassionally gains)…but the true prime directive is just exit liquidity now. I know we’re in SSB, but this new WSB indicator is very real

LiL_MikeyD

Seemingly interesting time for a dump & halt when SSB's is starting to get ALOT of people shilling for other companies that are not BYND... "Get out of BYND is buy XYZ instead". Sus.

Emotional_Sentence1

My real advice; once you make profits you’re happy with, sell the difference and keep the rest of the positions o-p-e-n (SSB won’t let me post that word).

Thop51

QS Will probably correct some from this $15 level, but over two years has the potential to be $100+ (and I’m being modest). They continue to meet milestones, increase JV with majors, and are in the right market - SSB. Risk: can the tech be scaled? Appears so. And they can always be “out-teched” by someone, but they have consistently delivered so far. Not for the faint of heart. Also, the election aviation startup (2018) Beta has announced that it is going public - one to keep an eye on.

Particular-Song2587

Market size of batteries is about 0.5T by 2030. 2 months ago QS was at 8$USD with a market cap of about 8 billion. Once SSB becomes mainstream, there will be zero sense to use old tech that are less reliable, costly, fire hazardous. Lets assume 90% of the lithium battery market adopts SSB, so 0.45T. Lets assume QS isn't the only SSB play in town by then (it is currently the only one that seems legit) and takes 50% share, so 0.225T or 225 billion. 225/8 = 28.125 ish. So there abouts?

Consistent_Ride7424

This is so annoying in SSB sub. Good grief, you know where to go

cloudiologist

I would say the shady stuff is the actual Scorpion Capital report which was developed for tanking the stock. QS has met every single goal they have set out to achieve. They have also pivoted from manufacturing their own battery to licensing their IP. Think of ARM from the chip business. Volkswagen recently presented a Ducati motorcycle with the QS SSB technology and that is what is causing the stock to go up. There is speculation as of late that Panasonic might be a new partner as Tesla wants to consider the use of QS technology to gain an edge.

For EOSE they make Zinc Batteries not Lithium and hold a patent on it, the plus side is they are not flammable or corrosive and they have a life span of 20 years and the United States is the 4th largest Zinc producer in the world which is good for the current tariff situations. You can look at it a bit more if you're interested here. [https://www.eose.com/technology/](https://www.eose.com/technology/) In terms of QS they currently leading in Solid State Batteries for vehicles and SSB; charge faster 10-80% in a little over 12 minutes, have longer range, have longer life span and I believe they are lighter than the current batteries.

Samalens

I totally agree with you. For me the biggest issue with those companies is that China is more advanced. You can look at some examples (Northvolt, probably soon ACC), we have troubles to compete with China in that field. I had hopes for the SSB, being a new technology so basically everyone started at the same time, which was not the case for the current Li-ion generation of batteries (LFP/NMC/NMX...). But the thing is, the Chinese gov launched some kind of joint collaboration between several Chinese companies. They usually don't talk a lot during the research phase, but when they hit they hit big.

Samalens

Tbh I'm working in the field (thus my presence here), and QS is one of the company in which I have the most hopes (along with some others, but mainly from China). This comes from the shortlist I did after reviewing the technologies of all the companies in that field. SSB will be really big, they will not only cover cars and this is something that people tend to forget quite often. For me the car market of the SSB is just the tip of the iceberg.

stickman07738

I still believed SSB will have thermal expansion issues (things swell when heated) that will require signifiant cooling and they will also exhibit insufficient Intercalation of lithium shorting life span of the battery. Both issues will make the SSB uneconomical.

My favorite statement on QS. I do not believe SSB will ever be fully commercially available due to technical issues. Semi- solid yes, but not true SS I particularly like this comment from Fastmarkets. Negative sentiment has been exacerbated by Western leaders like VW-backed Quantumscape delaying their product offerings and shifting timelines following persistent technological problems, so the industry feels increasingly Sisyphean despite progress continuing to be made," Connor Watts, battery raw materials analyst at Fastmarkets, told CNBC by email. Derived from Greek mythology, a so-called "Sisyphean" undertaking refers to an endless and futile task.

I made very nice money on them after coming out their SPAC days having sold at $93. It was a pure speculative trade due to Breakthrough Energy involvement. The one good thing they did was buildup a significant cash early before the collapse of the SPAC error.

Im a n00b, been investing since Nov 24. I think I found a hot stock, but I dont think its worth of a full post. Solid State is the name of the next generation battery, invented by Dr John Goodenough (no really, thats his name) 20 years ago and is the same person who invented lithium-ion battery that all use today. He passed in 2023 at the age of 101. What does a SSB do? It lets your Electric Car go from 300 miles per charge, to 500-600 miles. Its no longer a fire hazard. Works in extreme cold and hot temps and charges faster. But the problem is how do you mass produce this. Well QuantumScape is one company developing this tech and they dont plan on mass producing this themselves, but sell the machines to mass produce them, which they announced over week ago a new process that allows them to scale it up. Calling in the Cobra Separator, which increases the speed 25 fold and uses far less space. Their original process was using off the shelf components, but Cobra is a completely new design. I bought 50 shares when it was $4 per share, after announcing the new production process, it jumped to $7. Bought 30 more shares when it dipped to $6.50, now its at $14. I want to buy more when it dips, but it hasnt for over a week, it keeps climbing. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/QS/

Having backing by VW and gates was the reason I chose a small part of my port for this stock. Surprised with all the deals VW has their stock hasn't gone up yet unless they're still in the building phase for future EV deals. QS SSB development with Rivian tech. Theyre trying and I hope it pays off

Muscle_Gamer

Curious if the articles I read where lucid looks to switch to SSB and if they'll announce a partnership with QS. Just speculation is all and not banking on it. Would be insane if they announced it at earnings 😂

QS SSB is the future

joemama6969696969

Quantumscape they’re a car battery manufacturer and they are working on solid state batteries (SSB). these batteries would be a game changer to the EV market as opposed to the current use of lithium ion (LI). the benefits of a SSB are insane compared to LI. SSB charge faster (10 to 80% in 10 mins), produce less heat therefore having a longer life, and are lighter. those are just a few of the pros of them. VW is a huge investor in QS and the company has been held up by venture capitalists for its whole life so investing is kind of a gamble/pretty risky. the company can create product and have a chokehold on the market or fizzle out to pennies they recently announced a breakthrough in the spacers of their batteries and it is a good showing of more to come from QS

stickman07738

Zero, $MVST Just got on and laughing at all the $QS comments. I have nothing against QS as I brought during SPAC days and sold all @$93, and that win allowed to further triple my return. First, they still have not addressed the two biggest issues with SSB - thermal expansion of materials (what will it cost to alleviate in a vehicle) and inefficiency of lithium intercalation in solids. Now they will have third problem of blinding of ceramic pore and its changing porosity (well know within ceramics especially particles filters in diesel engines) - Yes, you can manufacture the ceramic separator but will they long service life - I personally doubt it. As I have stated many times, unless, it is Honda or Toyota, I do not see SSB becoming reality for 5-8 years at best. Good Luck all longs.

> I keep hoping to see all these newly announced LFP and Sodium Ion batteries publish that sort of testing (or even SSB) but I've not seen anything so far. There's tons of metrics for sodium ion out there, but there are also a number of different sodium chemistries, and the values vary quite a bit. Some sodium cells, for example, have a 50,000 cycle lifespan, while others function from -40C to +100C. Sodium in general though is much less power dense, so it's bad for stuff like cars, but great for uses like grid balancing/storage. You can usually find stuff on new battery tech in r/batteries, but I'll warn you there are a *lot* of grumpy posters over there.

Ajaq007

Don't get me wrong, still quite an uncomfortable journey left for QS on the road to industrialization. But, has anyone published data that's... better than the "bad" 400 cycles 100% depth of discharge, 4C/1C 90% life capacity? I've seen lots of claims of high cycle life, and **separately** of high charge C rate, but not of cycle life **at** high charge rate. Genuinely, technically interested. I keep hoping to see all these new announced LFP and Sodium Ion batteries publish that sort of testing (or even SSB) but I've not seen anything so far.

In the late 1990s (end of the Jack Welch years) I bought $2,000 worth of shares of GE that I forgot about through a friend who had just started at SSB. I realized it almost 20 years later. Sold them for about $2,000.

The class action lawsuits are gonna be epic. The first to get flushed down the shttr if a market correction comes will be anything with even a hint impropriety. The Oxford news came out before a market open one morning exactly one day after my partner and I attended a Health Care conference in NYC hosted by SSB and the stock got absolutely decimated. Our company which was small by any standard lost over 1 million that day and I had to go borrow that money from my bank to pay the MC. Oxford was my client and my business partner thought he had the pulse of the company and he was selling uncovered puts. I accept full responsibility for allowing him to be A cowboy so it was on me.This current situation with UNH is identical and the news will keep getting worse before it ever gets better. The bad news kept coming from Oxford and they were in a death spiral when UNH came and took them out. Oxford settled with the Feds and we received about 20% of our losses back I think it was 3 years later. Simply trying to help any young out there who may think they got it nailed. But, you gotta do you. I was gonna buy 25 Jan 27 puts yesterday morning but got caught up at work and don’t see the same value available today.

why are you still on SSB? You are clearly a millionare already.

UnwittingCapitalist

Call it dumb luck or intuition if you want. Unlike the solid state claims of CATL & BYD that remain unverified, Quantumscape's QSE-battery pilots have been 3rd party verified. The underbelly was whether they could ramp production in a reasonable timeframe that leads them first to market. If you've seen any of the past 3 earning calls, you'll see that the 100+ PowerCO engineers spent the past 2 years preparing for large scale production in 2026 with the cobra separator. As of the earning call recently, now Murata to prepare for worldwide manufacturing that scale beyond 80gwh from the higher end of PowerCO's expanse agreements. QS is leveraging there tech into a royalty payment platform to leverage existing manufactures to ramp their SSB. So in short, I'd DCA if you can because the trajectory looks bright for quantumscape. Especially now that the nazi in chief is proving Tesla's failed demand metrics quarter by quarter.

MVST. Battery sector. Last quarter was profitable. Earnings tomorrow. Great progress in SSB and growing revenue, margins and customers. Hopefully US production soon

I know this is SSB but the way I protect my portfolio is by matching my riskier trades with shares of VOO, and I don’t touch the VOO. You never touch the VOO. This only works if you’re not a complete gambling addict though, if you are an addict, you will probably dip into the VOO. If that’s the case, maybe stick to a HYSA.

nomadichedgehog

The cooling issue is true but only for certain separator compounds. QS are using a ceramic separator that doesn't require cooling. The same can't be said for other SSB companies. Regarding concerns of intercalation, VW have already vetted the batteries by putting them through thousands of cycles and have been comfortable making investments on the back of these tests.

QuantumScape often refers to the "AND problem" in solid state battery technology, meaning a commercially viable EV battery must have high energy density, fast charging, long cycle life, safety, and cost-effectiveness—all at the same time. This is incredibly difficult to achieve, as improving one factor often comes at the cost of another. So far, all SSB companies tend to make a compromise somewhere on these 5 requirements. QS as far as we understand is the only one that has hacked all of these. Microvast has the following issues: 1) Still uses liquid electrolyte, meaning some flammability risk remains. QS uses a ceramic. 2) Despite using a better seperator it is still fundamentally using a lithium-ion technology. QS are using lithium metal, which can store \~1,000 Wh/L, which is 2x the energy density of today’s best lithium-ion EV batteries. Microvast doesn't solve the range anxiety issue that is plaguing the EV industry at the moment. 3) Microvast isn't as fast - 20-30 minutes for a 10 to 80% charge. QS claim a 12 minute charge. Microvast does have a current edge on manufacturing cost, but only because they are using existing manufacturing methods. QS are having to design and invent new manufacturing methods and machines in order to become cost effective, but it looks like they are on their way to achieving this. They also have an edge on life-cycles, but beyond 1,000 cycles (QS can achieve up to 2,000) isn't really anything meaningful because you are well exceeding the usable lifespan of the vehicle by that point, especially if you are increasing range through higher energy density.

Good Luck I personally think QS will crash - the only reason stock price is here now is because of their cash reserve. In SSB, they have two big issues to overcome - thermal expansion of materials (things swell when heated) - thus they will need significant cooling. Secondly, the intercalation of lithium cause battery performance to drop significant overtime. These are and have been holy grail in the industry. Tough to bet the laws of thermodynamics.

see the problem is you have no idea if the stock is gonna go up or down. Because i have yet to meet a single WSB/SSB user who actually does fundamental analysis.

super-tendies

Sir, i made a 2000$ option trade and i went straight to WSB. 15k in SSB? bro does NOT know his worth

Let’s find one and post it on WSB, WSBE, and SSB. I’m down for it haha

I am a cell not full SSB need some film, then stacked

I am a SSB and therfore went long as fuck
