I watched their battery PR presentation and it seems like they're trying to integrate the structure of the battery (maybe not the individual cells but I'm unclear on this) as a "stressed member" so to speak, same way that the engine in a motorcycle is often a critical structural component. Makes sense, because the battery is super heavy and needs a ton of stucture itself, might as well integrate it more with the frame and reduce redundancy.
