In a given year, there are about 200,000 vehicle fires. In the past month, 34 of them were Teslas, being associated with 7 deaths. In every case, there was a high-velocity crash, so I don’t know that a single one of them was caused by any propensity of Teslas to catch fires or have more serious fires when they do ignite.

The problem is that EV fires are extremely hard to put out.
It's the dang lithium ion batteries.
