5 cars out of 2200 doesn't really qualify as a devastating problem. The insurance for this for the fleet would probably run about $200/car based on a 100% profit for the insurer. Instead, charge $10/month per car and you are probably way ahead. If you have a Tesla and I get at least 100 people responding, I will do it for $20/month at my much smaller scale than a normal insurance company.
Funny, I saw the Tesla problem and immediately thought to myself that there might be an interesting arbitrage oppty. If your car's been bricked and you don't want to fork out $40k, is it possible you'd sell the car for some $$ to a person willing to buy the new battery and get a discount to retail?
