- First, SAIC Motor is actually an early investor of QS, Here's the link that proves it (SAIC Motor is like China's Volkswagen):
Our team is redefining the frontier of battery technology - QuantumScape

2) Next, SAIC Motor posted its 2025 milestone of production of solid state battery.
QS CEO Jagdeep has said that some potential customers had tested its battery cells. And it's up to them that if they will reveal the outcome. I would say every customer tends to keep its supplier secret. SAIC will not tell the public about the result either for sure.
But Let us see what happened to SAIC recently, On June 15th, SAIC Motor posted this on Weibo (China's Twitter): https://weibo.com/2690303253/KkgHOvqbZ

In the future, SAIC will make every effort to tackle the serialized "three-electric system"๏ผmeans: Battery, Electric Motor, Electric Control System, or EIC System๏ผ with long endurance, multiple energy gradients, and multiple drive systems, and strive to strengthen a new generation of electric vehicle platforms that can be upgraded, expanded, and quickly changed. In 2025, SAIC will officially launch a solid-state lithium battery with high safety, high energy density, and commercial applications, leading the world in technology.
Look, exactly the date that QS will go commercial with its battery and same with VW? SAIC future electric system will support solid-state battery technology.
