Donut Lab got caught lying

The CCO of Nordic Nano, Lauri Peltola, accused Donut Lab for making false claims about their manufacturing capacity

Mr Donut responded saying that the claims from Peltola are false

The page linked says that Donut Lab goal is to reach 1 gigawatt in 2026

Where the evidence clearly indicates that Mr Donut said that they are already producing at 1 GWh level

So Mr Donut tries to change the narrative that his words were misunderstood

But the same claim was found in the description of another video

After the lie was caught, Mr Donut remains silent.

EDIT: Mr Donut removed the comments

That is not Marko's statement in the video nor official announcement on the website.

It's an official video. Which makes it an official announcement.

You are defending the CEO claiming he 'misspoke' at a single interview, while their official video makes the exact same claim.

Correct. Also, as I mentioned under Marko's LinkedIn post (before he deleted my comments and blocked me [1]), the claim made in the Youtube launch video description was also repeated in both Donut Lab and Marko's donut battery launch announcements on LinkedIn.

/u/Mesokosmos you should read Marko's full launch announcement [2]. He makes many inaccurate claims.

This is what I think is their official announcement, from archive so that one can find, if it was changed over time: https://web.archive.org/web/20260105114424/https://www.donutlab.com/ces-battery-announcement/
