Tesla Fires

What do you think about the Tesla fires?

I personally think it's just a shame that these 3 events happened to occur all near each other. If the battery really has a 1/4" steel protective shield, then there is not much more Tesla can do to protect the battery. In a regular car the objects these people are running over would go through the floor of the car. If it continues to happen, then maybe there is something to it. I think it's just a coincidence though and not a design flaw.

Let me know what you guys think.
