Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun dropped a watermelon coated in a "bulletproof coating" from the sixth floor of their factory, demonstrating the safety of the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra's battery.
I mean, cut the melon open after that, it’ll be liquid. It’s not just punctures that cause lithium batteries to explode, crushing and bending can be just as bad, no coating is gonna save it from being crushed.
That a reason to not coat batteries? ‘Course not, but the “demo” is kind of disingenuous.
