Will Tesla's tabless cells ever use Schoopage?

With the recent media activity surrounding Elon Musk's announcement of the new Tesla tabless battery technology, I thought I'd speculate on what they are going to be doing.
I made this video before seeing their current tech (pleated copper foil at the negative end).

The potential for this is cheaper cells that have a higher current capability and better heat dissipation.

If they manage to make a solid core with schoopage contacts then it opens up the possibility of cells that resemble resin dipped metallised film capacitors.
Here's a very interesting page on Wikipedia that shows the capacitor version of the technology:-

Other possibilities might be a mesh or patterned schoopage to allow penetration and flow of electrolyte.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.
