The Autoradio podcast features a special episode focusing on the recent developments concerning Donut Lab and its controversial solid-state battery, which has attracted significant media attention. The podcast reveals that VTT, the Finnish Technical Research Centre, is indeed testing this battery and has begun to release test results. However, it emphasizes the caution with which these results should be interpreted due to Donut Lab's control over the testing process.

Max Lange, an automotive journalist, points out that while VTT's studies are methodologically sound, it is crucial to understand that Donut Lab commissioned these tests. Therefore, the testing framework and the preliminary aspects of the study might still be influenced by what Donut Lab deems appropriate for examination. Despite VTT's legitimate reputation and the integrity of its report, the independence of the test results is called into question because Donut Lab has a say in what is tested.

The ongoing saga surrounding Donut Lab's battery raises broader questions about the reliability of such technological advancements and the oversight that accompanies them. While VTT’s report is considered credible, the dynamics of commissioning research that an organization itself conducts lead to potential biases. The podcast aims to shed light on the implications of these tests and what they might realistically indicate about the much-hyped 'super battery' that Donut Lab is promoting to the public.
