A better idea, how about just removing this EV stupidity from the market all together

Tesla is the easiest way to tell dumb rich people apart.

Seems more of a junkyard management issue than a Tesla issue.

If it's a 20+ hours of work to remove the battery with use of specialized equipment and trained personnel then no one will bother. I'm guessing those structural batteries will make it even harder.
On a side-note: rebuilding a flooded ICE car is technically doable. An electric - even if you throw away the battery. You might end up with a fire down the road because some other high voltage component shorted out.

The Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District had to deal with another spontaneous Tesla Model S combustion, this time of a flooded EV just sitting at a junk yard surrounded by Ferraris and Bentleys. That's just the next Model S ignition for them, after one caught fire on the highway earlier.
