Too much regen is a simple SW fix. The SW engineers just didn't think of that failure mode when they coded the regen function. Looks like the reliability guys also failed to fully test that function. Typical new platform bugs. Agreed. Sucks it happened, but it is a pretty extreme use case I imagine.

a question - in our cars, we have an alternator that keeps our battery charged - why can't they rig up something similar to continually charge the batteries of an elec vehicle.?? Can’t get more power out than you put in. Has to be a loss in some way. Works out when you are burning gas.
I want my fair share

Just slap a sticker on it that says something to the effect of not Pikes Peak certified.

Haven't trains been running on electric motors charged by diesel engines for multiple decades? If this is the case, why does none of these companies realize a diesel engine can be smaller than a gas engine and be way more economical?  Have any of those folks figured out how to fly a jetliner on electric?? And if they do, will the flying public be test dummies like the Ford Estang owners are?
Master, again and still

I have been wondering and asking this myself for years. No doubt a windmill mounted on top of the car would solve all those problems.....

I have been wondering and asking this myself for years. Has anyone ever seen a battery swell up from overcharging when a VR fails? Picture that on a larger scale.

I play with RC cars running Lithium Polymer(Lipo) batteries. They get ugly if not treated right and go up in flames in a hurry(Google lipo fires) Those packs are only 12-14 volts.......imagine on a much bigger scale as stated!!!!!

Must be very extreme. The battery packs do have coolers in them... Mu be a lot of heat built up in them due to driving conditions. I am in line to take the ford battery class, when it is closer to me then Chicago.. I declined it that time, lol..Maybe I'll take Cincinnati. Kevin
