They're only garnering so much media attention because they're different (battery vs gas), regular cars lit on fire all the time back in the day.

Partially it's just something Tesla's going to have to work through, and partially the media is going to have to stop being d***s about it. I won't hold my breath on the 2nd one.

I guarantee you worldwide if you looked at gasoline powered vehicles, there would be 8 times as many that lit on fire in the same time period.

As a side note, the most recent one looked like it had custom rims/had been lowered somewhat, so that might have made it more prone to smashing the battery tray too.
