Yeah but do they spontaneously combust? Or is the fire suppression system an addon subscription service?

This is a stupid comment, but in case you have any serious interest in fire safety at all, LFP is definitely the safest and most stable lithium battery chemistry when faced with abuse.

So far. But since you seem new to American Automakers let me tell you about the 99th time they cut corners to make a little extra money.

Well, this is about them making more money because it's a lot cheaper. The result of the consumer is going to be a heavier vehicle. A heavier electric vehicle means less range Edit: On the other hand, for vehicles it will be used around town, like mail trucks, this will be advantageous despite weight, both because those vehicles do not go very fast, and because they will be subject to more charging cycles.
