Curious people want to know.

It won't matter. Tesla is supposed to start using their new aluminum ion batteries in some of their 2026 models. These new batteries hold almost 5 times the charge, weigh a fraction as much, fully charge in 10 minutes, have a service life of 40 years, and cost less than half of today's lithium ion batteries. And, the fire hazard is almost non-existent. Elon wants to market a car with these batteries in the 15k price range.
