Yes, but the GP comment: > Teslas sure love catching fire, don't they? implies a higher quantity of fires, which is just FUD.

  I'm not sure about the numbers, but I've seen multiple Tesla fires IRL, and never seen an ICE vehicle spontaneously begin smoking and catch fire in front of me. Ymmv.

    Ford just told 39k owners of Expeditions and Navigators to park outside because of engine fires. 12 of the 16 reported fires happened while the cars were turned off. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2022/05/19/ford-suv-recall-engine-fire-risk/9835262002/ https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2022/05/19/ford-...

    I’ve seen multiple gas car fires IRL, and never seen a Tesla vehicle spontaneously begin smoking and catch fire. I guess our anecdata cancels out.

      They're probably outright lying anyways.
