There is a simple solution tot he ‘bricking’ problem: a sensor which casues a complete disconnet of the car from the battery if the charge level gets to a preset ‘low’; the sensor would also cause, at the preset low, the drive train to completely disconnect from the systems as soon as the vehicle reached zero motion.

That was my immediate thought reading the article. For the price of the car, that should be basic equipment. There should also be a low voltage warning system that can call or text the owner.
Amazing all the money they spent engineering this thing, and NOBODY thought of some simple basic battery protection remedies.
