I just posted my (worthless) opinion on the R&N thread.
reiterating:
another bodge to get them earning revenue again
wound cells have same expansion/contraction/shuffling/void problems as folded cells.
Each of the 24 sub-cells should be heat and electrically insulated in a ceramic enclosure and connect to the cell's internal busbar/strap via a fusible link...thus any failed cell will automatically drop out and allow the whole battery to stay on-line at correct voltage (though capacity reduced by 1/3 due to the weakest link in the series-arrangement.
This would be a more graceful degradation than the current all or nothing scenario.
I also made a somewhat tfacetious suggestion, re- the firebox/vent.
