Just to put in perspective, Ferrari had 10 458's set on fire randomly in 3 months.
- eli 13y agoUh, and didn't that lead to a global recall? My point is that I don't think it's anti-electric bias that is causing to people to take their vehicle catching on fire pretty seriously.
- nicholassmith 13y agoIt did indeed! But they recalled them as they were dangerous at fault, it was to do with some of the glue if I remember rightly. It should definitely be taken seriously, but Tesla have put their cars through the NCAP testing which does check to see if they set on fire after an accident. I'd wager there's a specific defect that effects a number, but a lot of the articles have made it out as if you're driving a ticking time bomb.
- kohanz 13y agoThat's one additional data point. I would hardly call it perspective. Yes, 3 fires is less than 10, but is 10 an outlier? More statistics are needed.
