Not really.
In 2014 or 2015 a guy in california had a negligent discharg of a 9mm hand gun while diving a tesla. He put a 9mm bullet into the battery pack and the car burst into flames.
If a gasoline tank is penetrated in such a way about 99% of the time nothing happens besides the gasoline pouring out.
If a cell is damaged in such a way it's going to burn the car to the ground every time.
Nuclear fuels are very stable. Aside from very highly enriched uranium, which is only used in navy vessels, research reactors and Syrian atomic weapons.
But mixed oxide fuel (the recycled stuff), normal 3% enriched uranium for commercial power generation, plutonium for nuclear weapons, plutonium for nuclear powered space craft and depleted uranium are all very stable.
The most unstable stuff by far is spent nuclear fuel.
