There’s not much to disable unfortunately. Provde a short circuit path between the anonde and cathode and you’re going to get thermal runaway. You could try inside the cell protection, but that’s going to be pretty expensive given a Tesla containing thousands of smaller capacity cells. Other OEMs use larger “large format” pouches, but they still a have hundreds.
