I believe having one battery fire after caused by running over a metal object could have been considered a fluke. A second fire within a month will lead many to believe that there is a flaw in the design. What happens to the Tesla narrative if you have late night comedians cracking jokes about the Tesla battery fires?
I believe the only way to put these battery fire concerns to rest is to introduce a retrofittable redesign. A recall. Change the 1/4" aluminum plate to titanium or kevlar....or some other design fix.
The battery pack is designed for a quick changeout, so I'd like to see a recall that drops the battery and changes or adds something to the armor plating.
