To me, that reads: Quantumscape has until July to actually produce something useable.

To me, that reads: Quantumscape has until July to actually produce something useable.

Which reads to me that VW is telling them they have until July to put up or shut up.

Don't fall for this media driven hype (notice VW hasn't said anything about Tesla or this giving them a competitive advantage because it's the journalist speculating)...several high profile executives at Tesla are original investors in Quantumscape. That aside, it is highly unlikely any of the traditional OEMs are going to parachute into Silicon Valley and discover some new amazing technology that Tesla hasn't already had a first look at.
