> this one is irrelevant to consumers.

Not if I want to put my car in long-term storage. Then this, too, becomes quite relevant.



Can we stop acting like this is a problem when $5 chemicals off the shelf at your local auto parts store fixes this problem?

Well, the Tesla cars' batteries are permanently wrecked and have to be replaced - at a cost of about half the price of a new car! - if you put them into long-term storage without leaving them connected to a charger, or if the charger becomes unplugged or loses mains power. That's even worse!
