If you're worried about it, then I suggest you purchase the optional "rad-guard" lead underwear.

This means that the Gigafactory is at less than 50% of present capacity and as a consequence of low battery volume, batteries cost too much for ANY vendor to produce an economical BEV.
It will be interesting to see what happens to battery prices in 3 to 5 years once there is lots of BEV competition demanding lots of batteries. I guess we'll find out how supply-constrained the world really is re such batteries, when there is plenty of profit motive to produce them.

Solution: install a powerwall when you buy your Tesla.

doesn't help if everyone has an EV and is trying to charge their powerwall from the grid at the same time does it? Not everyone has the potential to use the amount of solar energy required to power one (space required for panels, right exposure etc). Also currently (at least my understanding) is that powerwalls actually require more energy than they make available which is not good.
The issue isn't storage it is network capacity and I would be surprised if there is any city in the world that is ready for full on EV utilization. It requires some serious rethinking about power supply and power utilization.

People will put their faith in autopilot, it will fail, and the driver will always be blamed. Which is all well and good until YOU are the one this happens to, then the bloom will be off the rose.

It's bad engineering brushed under the rug on the basis of "It reeks of FUD!!!"
