Will the solid-state (Donut) Verge motorcycle be delivered under a non-disclosure agreement?

Question

The CEO of Donut Lab told Electrek that demo packs of the startup’s solid state battery have been shipped to OEMs under NDAs and under tight disclosures to prevent competitors from learning the chemistry “for another ten weeks or so.”

Will this secrecy (and therefore timeline) be extended to the first consumers taking delivery of a solid-state battery equipped Verge Motorcycle?

Since the existence of an NDA is itself often secret, I will be resolving based on reporting from respected EV and technology outlets. I will not bet in this market. (But for disclosure: I kinda think they might actually try this.)
