Those stats might be correct but I do think they are a little misleading. How does the Tesla fire per mile ratio stand up against other cars in a similar price range and similar vintage? In other words, the fire per mile ratio for the general car population covers a much wider variety and age of vehicles. I would have to imagine that the majority of cars that do catch on fire are much older than Teslas, much cheaper vehicles and more than likely in poor repair when they do ignite.
