Driving hours and ownership hours affect the expression of your car's likelihood of catching fire.
P(tesla catching fire over 10 years) is different than P(tesla catching fire over 2 years) is different than P(tesla catching fire the first week you buy it). Same with ICE cars, so you have to compare apples to apples.
I also wonder: is it fair to compare Tesla to all cars? Tesla makes $30k+ cars. If we compare to cars in its price range, do things change? Other breakdowns: by country, by model year, by powertrain type. It's probable that Tesla is being overly generous to itself in the stat it chose to report.
