but once that battery protection structure is compromised, then you have fire.

"From 2012 to 2021, there was about one Tesla catching on fire for every 210 million miles traveled. For most other vehicles, this is about one fire for every 19 million miles traveled."

I had a Jaguar XJ8 catch on fire, small fire I luckily noticed before I went inside after parking it in my garage. Could have been catastrophic. Fortunately it was covered under warranty.
That was the car that pushed me to Lexus actually! Traded for an LS430 and never looked back.

Yes, you have a point. It is more a topic for Car Chat (where, as I type this, the most current topic is about Tesla). He no longer owns an ES, and he is no longer posting about one.

Yeah, don't be surprised if you walk into a biker bar and start talking about your new Prius that everyone starts ****-talking your new ride.

I'm not worried about fires. statistically overblown and not relevant anyway, as mentioned above. the other day a bmw crashed on the vegas strip (minor crash too) and it lit on fire. lots of fuel lines etc towards the front, underside, and rear of ICE cars. on ice cars the fuel lines are just chillin down below exposed to the road. Point is fire can happen on any vehicle. the news just likes to amp up EV fires on their coverage.
anyway someone bought my old Lexus.
