Power loss isn't necessarily a good choice even in a traditional ICE car with a battery, let alone one with a bigass EV battery.

Because it makes it super easy to break into a car (pop the hood and unplug two connectors) AND very likely will remain charged throughout much of the fire.

No. The answer is you have fucking manual locks and door handles that don't require you to pry open a panel.
