PlainSite's owner Aaron Greenspan is a known TSLAQ troll who's obsessed with Tesla and Elon Musk, and just lost a huge lawsuit against Tesla (https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-musk-tesla-twitter-fan-84862639 https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/judge-dismisses-...)
Let's look at all these reports:
* Some seem fake/old - (e.g. a single potato quality image in a tweet https://twitter.com/ATXKev1n/status/1528826357177892864 https://twitter.com/ATXKev1n/status/1528826357177892864 from a TSLA short -

* Some are caused by other fires (e.g. https://brooklynreporter.com/2022/04/streets-of-fire-tesla-goes-up-in-flames-on-fifth-avenue/ https://brooklynreporter.com/2022/04/streets-of-fire-tesla-g... - "A garbage fire on Fifth Avenue and 77th Street engulfed a Tesla")
* Some are minor fires in the cabin that didn't proliferate to the battery and didn't cause any serious damage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgZf-auOZxI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgZf-auOZxI)
* Some involve other vehicles as well (https://presse-fotos.dk/post/fire-elbiler-i-ladestander-brudt-i-brand/ https://presse-fotos.dk/post/fire-elbiler-i-ladestander-brud..., https://abc7.com/santa-monica-car-crash-fire-parking-garage/11706511/ https://abc7.com/santa-monica-car-crash-fire-parking-garage/...) - and as expected only reported as Tesla fires on PlainSite, although it's unknown which one started the fire.
Overall, the rate of serious Tesla fires with any injuries/fatalities is extremely low, since there are many safety nets in place and fires take a lot of time to expand (if they do at all).
