I thought I remembered them saying that not only was it nearly two months after the crash test cars were totaled in a crash test that flipped them over and they left the battery cut out safeties turned on while it was put in storage, this would be like leaving the gasoline in the tank of a car that had been crashed that badly then freaking out when it caught on fire a month later.
People are comparing this to the lap top batteries that started on fire years back, while those batteries caught on fire because they were a chemistry that is thermally unstable with an extra o2 molecule I believe, so once they started to over heat they would start on fire and it would go up like a box of matches, of course not all lithium batteries have that chemistry and most are thermally stable enough to not have that happen.
