Ah yes, insulting garage mechanics during a discussion about garage mechanics, and focusing on your experience with electronics design. Because that is what is relevant here. You dont even need electronics to do what I said.

Thermal runaway is from getting too hot, not preventing them from freezing. This is pretty damn simple. Like I said, over intellectual. Seriously, you think no one runs a block heater and a trickle charger at the same time? Yes, you can apply heat, cause an exothermic reaction, increase a reaction rate, create more heat, and get a runaway... not from a lithium battery being kept at a minimum of 40 degrees though. The battery doesnt know that you are heating it, it just knows it is at a given temperature. And that shit doesnt happen at 40 degrees.

Now, how exactly do you think I am inflating my opinion regarding vehicles? Because all I said is that you can keep shit from freezing while also charging a battery, which isnt that hard of a thing to do. I also view vehicles in general as disposable - I still have a 93 Dodge Ram at the bottom of a river in South Dakota from when I punched a crane operator. Hell I ripped a tailgate off my project truck this morning. Yeah, I break shit, I make money in the process, then go back to breaking shit at a slower rate than what it makes me money.
