Track; not yet
- Why
- Real industrial commitment exists (Idemitsu factory groundbreaking, a formal three-phase mass-production roadmap, a parallel Sumitomo Metal Mining cathode-material tie-up), but the program has a documented history of missed deadlines (2020 to early-2020s to 2025 to 2027/28) and the headline range claim has already been split into a more modest 620-mile first-generation pack ahead of the original 745-mile figure -- not yet proven at commercial scale.
- Next
- Re-check at the 2027-2028 pilot-line output disclosure, first Idemitsu factory production run, or the debut of the first solid-state Lexus/bZ production model
