Having done a bit of work in ad-hoc networking, I think there is at least a germ of a good idea there. Practical issues might get in the way though, like getting good contact between the cells, or them moving around when you hit a bump. I don't think it's a spoof, but I won't be investing eitherIs this a spoof..? I can't tell..

The fact that it can pair up cells with equal voltage is a great benefit which removes the need to do active 'in-car' balancing to a large extent.
Yeah, that battery vacuum reminds me of the SNL spoof of the Mercedes AA from last week where pulling the battery release tab ejects all the Duracells from the car.Is this a spoof..? I can't tell..
It's not that refrigerated air can't cool the packs, it's that it can't do it as well as a liquid,
However liquid is far denser than air, and thus can provide greater cooling capacity per unit of volume.I am not too sure about that. Remember if the cells are immersed in a coolant liquid like the Uranium rods in a nuclear reactor, I fully get what you are saying. But coolant liquid is sent through pipes which snakes around the cells. You can cover more area with cold air blowing rather than a cold pipe, which would not leave any hotspots.
Safety stock seems to refer to cells, not packs.
Simpler, better heat transfer, and lower cost. What’s not to like?
Will we see this DX cold plate cooling scheme in the new Chevy Bolt and the Tesla Model 3? We predict yes.
