The only solid state news I've heard is Volkswagen's recent announcement about they planning to use solid state as early as next year.
Ultium looks promising. Word is v2 Ultium is in the works and uses solid-state tech.

Toyota is set to reveal a prototype EV using solid-state tech early next year.

VW is the most substantial investor in QuantumScape... seems any of the big players could be first to market with a solid state product.
