Samsung has been shipping its solid-state battery with high energy density to electric vehicle makers, but warns that it will first land in more expensive models. It is also ready to deliver other promising battery technologies.
Apparently, they are also rather expensive to produce, since it warns that they will first go into the “super premium” EV segment of luxury electric cars that can cover more than 600 miles on a charge.
So what’s the catch? Is it the price?
FTA:
So yes. Expensive initially.

Don’t fly your car with the Samsung battery.
You’d be shocked to know how many of your non-Samsung devices are using Samsung batteries.
Basically, yes. The big issue with solid state batteries is figuring out how to mass produce them at a price where someone will actually buy them.
Remember the Note 7 recalls?

The whole point of a solid state battery is that they don’t do that.
Actually the risk of that should be lower
