That saves a ton of space, and if these don't have any cooling/heating requirements that savings will translate into a more compact pack which may offset some of the losses from the reduced density, as well as weight savings for coolant, coolant loops and pump.
They are definitely heated at least in the Teslas, they don't perform well enough when cold.
