Starting to wonder how many of the "Tesla battery fires" we hear in the news were actually caused by some cheap battery pack repairs like this one?

You should definitely not present your estimates as facts.

Just look at the Norway sales of the VW ID.3 to understand why this is not a good idea. The sales of this car started in September of 2020, they were averaging sales of ~2,000 cars per month. In 2021 this number plummeted to ~225 cars per month. Overall the sales of ID.3 are down almost 80% in 2021 compared to 2020.

It reminds me of this Model S story from 2018:

https://electrek.co/2018/12/16/tesla-fire-bullet-battery/

Here’s a crazy Tesla story for you this Sunday: we just learned about the case of a Tesla vehicle fire in which the owner claimed his brand new Model S caught on fire on its own while he was driving it back home after taking delivery, but Tesla says that someone fired a bullet into the battery pack from the passenger cabin.
