I can wrap my head around it. It’s absolute nonsense, and I already addressed it. Just because there was a very bad fire in your city (with zero fatalities) doesn’t overwhelm the importance of tens of thousands of fires which DIDN’T happen because Tesla doesn’t rely on setting fire to explosive gasses (which is how anti-Tesla folks would describe ICE if they wanted to ban them). The trope of Teslas catching fire is little more than Russian/Iranian/Chinese/Saudi propaganda designed to keep the world dependent on oil, and idiots who lap it up because it fits their decades-long skepticism of “green technology.”
It happens, but very rarely. It just seems like it happens for the same reason that Black people think all police officers just want to kill them: because your echo chamber amplifies the rare exception, and makes no mention of the normal.

Unless each and every Tesla fires averaged 120 other vehicles destroyed, your argument makes no sense. And that figure — that ICE vehicles catch fire 120 times more often per vehicle mile than Teslas — includes a bunch of left-wing terrorists trying to torch as many Teslas as they can.
