Thanks for your work on this group, Jamie. You are creating a great resource just like you did with the ASH26E group! I was going through your collection of articles on your Google Drive, and had a question on the article describing the HPH Shark that had the fire.  It kinda appears that these are GEN2 Batteries? So does that mean that these batteries were from the new architecture, after the latest refurbishment,  that was supposed to reduce the probability of the problem?  The statement that it detected "the presence of foreign metallic objects" in 7 of 11 of the battery packs? Potentially, swarfs, in the Gen2 battery packs is curious.  Am I reading this wrong? As for the 3 or 4 fires, they are scary but the architecture does seem better than gas powered approaches. I remember when Elon Musk was pushed in a 2017 interview about the 3 Tesla fires after the cars had collided with other cars (and all the drivers had walked away without injury), when pushed hard by the interviewer he said, "Well, there were 1500 fires with just one manufacturers gas engines last year, so... ". :-)
