The recall for Hyundai/Kia: LG batteries.
The exploding ZOEs: LG batteries.
The Taycans on fire: LG batteries.
Now this.
Can't we see a pattern?

Title is misleading, yet again. The factory is in China but is owned by LG, which is Korean. It sounds to me that is a design issue rather than a manufacturing issue. If that's the case, don't blame China as we are not hearing these kind of failure with other Chinese manufacturers.
