It is... as I understand it, there's a fuse per x number of cells, which is supposed to blow if a cell shorts, so you just lose a bit of capacity. I'm not sure why it would've killed the car, in this case. I guess maybe if it's bad enough to blow the fuse, it would just drain the pack rather than blowing the fuse.
$20k sounds a bit high to replace the battery pack... prices I've heard were more like $12-15k for a model S, but the good thing is, that the battery has an 8 year unlimited mileage warranty, so very few of them are actually out of warranty at this point.
