This might not a be popular thought given the consensus of outrage over here, but I'll caveat this by saying correlation does not equal causation: Since the software update 2019.16.x have there been any spontaneous battery fires with 60/70/75/85/90 kWh packs? Now I know that having your car not spontaneously immolate is a low bar and somewhat an expectation, but it seems like Tesla solved a very important problem. Nevermind the fact that they created new problems with limiting range, inconveniencing owners by slower Supercharging sessions and subsequently creating congestion at the Supercharging lots, and have been very tight-lipped about things from the beginning.
I didn't mind at first because I thought safety should come first, and I thought a simple remedy would be released shortly thereafter along with an explanation. Boy was I naive, but I'm only about a year into my relationship with Tesla. I'm still hopefully waiting, but not holding my breath. For now, our S85 stays at home for trips beyond 350 miles round-trip; I'm glad I didn't give away my old TDI. 700 mile range with a 12% modified taller 5th gear set.
