Depends on on what they’re trying to convince people of. I see a few options:
They believe they are close to a breakthrough and just need a little bit more funding to get all the way there. I don’t see this as likely because then they wouldn’t have come out with such extraordinary claims straight out of the gate.
They want to fool potential customers into buying their products. Also not likely for the same reason you said, no one is going to include a product into their production line without verifying things first.
They want to fool investors into buying the company. This is what I think is going on, they want enough breadcrumbs so that people who want to come out ahead of the big players (CATL, QuantumScape, Solid Power) will let their fear of missing out outweigh their skepticism and go all-in, then just cash out before anyone realizes it was a bluff.
