I think that it would have been reasonable for Ford to honor the warranty for cars in the Model T era. Fully electric vehicles have not been around long enough for it to be common knowledge that draining a battery is as serious an offensive as never changing the oil in your car. I understand the reasons that they aren't honoring the warranty. I think that Tesla could consider replacing the battery for the early adopters that got surprised by this and make it more clear to future consumers that bricking can happen.
