So basically I've done everything wrong when it comes to lithium plating. Charge really slow for a long time for many days when the battery is freezing, regen charge on cold soaked battery, and start charging in the morning to heat the battery rather than charge at night when I first get home. Currently, with v8, I have 11 miles of range loss at nearly 100K miles. I'd expect V9 to make mine one of the highest loss examples.
You mentioned "But Tesla may not have known this up to 2 years ago". Don't you think Tesla should have acted earlier than 2 years and communicated with the owners about it?
If they had known that the situation causes batteries to take fire on parked cars in the future, I am sure that they would have taken immediate action. But it looks like they have seen something coming, probably not the fire risk, but fast degradation of some batteries, and have taken some actions to prevent fast degradation. Looking back we all know more and can blame Tesla not having done more.
It is like driving and seeing cars in front decelerate. First we hit the brake only softly, but we see the car in front coming nearer and nearer very fast. We hit the brake harder and harder, but we may be to late to make emergency braking to avoid collision.
It looks like Tesla make an emergency stop and hopes it can avoid collision.
