The flaw does not exist in models 2022 and newer. Older models are getting fixed. From the pictures, the unit is directly attached to the battery right in the front. It should be trivial for mechanics to get to.

Yeah. The fix is simply to switch the contactors to beefier ones, which presumably they did for 2022 model already. Hence new model years aren't affected.

Well switching out the junction box, since not like they are going to have repair mechanics muck in the junction box. Just ship the never model junction box with beefier contactors inside and switch out the whole box.
