From Minor Mishap to Major Expense: Is Tesla's Battery Design a Flaw? 

Conversation Starter: The Fragility of EVs - Are We Sacrificing Durability for Innovation?

Hey Tesla enthusiasts! I recently came across a story about a Tesla Model 3 that suffered significant damage after hitting a metal can on the highway, leading to a costly battery replacement. This got me thinking: as we embrace the electric vehicle revolution, are we inadvertently trading off durability for sleek design and advanced technology?

What are your thoughts on the current state of EV durability? Do you believe manufacturers like Tesla should prioritize more robust underbody protection to prevent such costly repairs? Have any of you experienced similar issues with your EVs, and how did you handle them?

Let’s discuss the balance between innovation and practicality in the EV world!
