CHAPTER

Are Cost Improvements a Function of Scaling and Building More of the Same?

With a doubling of cumulative production, you will get efficiencies in your engineering that will reduce costs. But the other is where the beginning of our learning courdright? We just introduce this technology at commercial scale. The more we build, the more efficient we're going to learn how to make em. I think we'll end up being ten, 20, 30% better initially. And then maybe in ten years time we'll get to ten % better every single time. There's a lot of ways to get down this curve, but the most important thing to me is get off the curve that tells you we have to replicate our current system. It's sort of big, bespoke,
