> Car modding has gone on for around a century(!) Perhaps I'm mistaken, but my impression is that people weren't as litigious in previous decades. > and I can't remember a single instance where someone modified a car, was injured or killed, then blamed the manufacturer, and the latter was found at fault (instead of the modder or driver.) Sure, but for the past century we've had cars which run on flammable liquid and are powered by thousands of explosions per minute. So, it's not entirely news worthy when a car which burns stuff catches fire. For a car which runs on electricity it's not immediately obvious to people that there are still components inside plenty capable of producing fire when damaged or used incorrectly.
