I'm sure Tesla is going to make that plug replaceable next time. I guess Tesla doesn't want people messing with the battery, because if you accidentally short it, it will burn down you car and everything surrounding without a way for you to put off the lithium fire.
This is going to be a problem in heavily populated cities where people live in apartment buildings with integrated garages since the electric cars sometimes just go up in flames.
If tesla finds out, they will likely remove this cars ability to go to a supercharger station, stating risk of fire.
This might be a trend with EVs, smart chargers that refuse to charge vehicles that have modified batteries or electronics, for the name of safety.
This was just a coolant line for the battery, not an electrical line. It's a cheap ass plastic fitting that's (not at all) protected by another piece of cheap plastic on the bottom of the car.
After all, it's not like there's ever been any road debris that you'd run over. I've certainly not run over many things, including a broken shopping cart that was in the middle of the road.
