I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

    It makes more sense if you read the context. They’re responding to a comment that said this:

    I guess you don’t understand active cooling then. If the coolest air in front of you is ~160⁰F, well that’s the coolest your batteries are gonna get, at best. Which is way hotter than rated temperatures for lithium batteries…

    A response that says “it’s not X” can be interpreted as “it’s not doing the thing you said it’s doing”. In this case, over_clox is saying that heat transfers directly from the battery to the air.
