I already implied that this is a design flaw and stated clearly that Tesla should be responsible for fixing this (and it appears they did things to mitigate if not eliminate this flaw when they redesigned the MCU).

I am not defending Tesla here. I am simply pointing out that this is being covered in a fundamentally different way than other cars. My last car was recalled twice for electrical wiring issues. One of the problems could have resulted in a fire and the other one would have resulted in the exact same "bricking" that you see here. Neither of those issues would be covered or dissected like this Tesla issue.
