You didn't answer the question.↑{below is quote}
prismatic cells vs cylindrical cells may be the answer
Absolutely not! Why would you even think that's a possibility?
{above is quote}
apologies for being obscure, meant cylindricals easier to control temp, C rates, etc. prefer the thought processes favoring cylindricals
again apologies for not being clear, except to myself
Why would you think that the the from factor of the cell has anything to do with the c-rate or controlling the c-rates? That statement doesn't make sense, you control the c-rate electronically.
Why would you think that cylindrical cells would make it easier to control the temps?
First principles question. Why would taking the all layers of the battery and curling them into a circle, then squeezing them into a cylinder, instead of laying them between flat thin sheets of aluminum foil make it easier to control the temperature? If anything that would make it more difficult.
I apologize for the negative tone of my posts. I get a little annoyed with posts that are based on the assumption that Tesla has an advantage that isn't real. Cylindrical vs prismatic clearly falls into that category. Tesla has a huge advantage in battery pack and cell costs and prices. It's not constructive to invent nonexistent advantages.
