I assume mainly because it's an american engineered car.... Also because the detail photo of the battery pack shows a single large cooling plate underneath the battery, I don't think they would add a separate cooling plate to the smaller pack on top and I can't see one in the photo. True about...

any idea on the specific defect from an engineering standpoint?Are the battery cells causing this or something else?

This seems like a flawed design for battery life longevity. We all know heat rises.... so why would the cooling plate be put on the bottom of the cells? This would create an uneven warmer area on top of the cells and cooler on the bottom part of the cells- a recipe for battery degredation...
