None of these things are ticking time bombs, they are things with (other than your electricity inside your house) fairly fantastic failure modes.
A Lithium Ion battery pack will experience cascade failure in it's lifetime. A tank full of gasoline will not, neither will the circuit panel in your home.
Will that battery pack catch fire when it inevitably fails? Who knows, but that's exactly the problem.

- waiseristy 5y agoAh yeah, and what happens when you increase that number 100x? Adding a powerwall to your house will increase the battery count in your home by 1,000 or more.
