I'm not an engineer, so correct me if this doesn't make sense, but I don't think it's quite the same. The microcontroller has lots of semiconductors, but they're all formed at one go on one substrate. OTOH, the lithium cells are individual units, manufactured individually, with individually welded (I think) connections. I too was skeptical about the Tesla ant colony battery construction -- which IIRC actually was used in earlier EVs with much less publicity and far lower production numbers. I believe the T-Zero Roadster was one of them. However, in the real world, they seem to get better results than I expected. Bravo for them.
