Fair, but lots of fires are from internal issues. I think only 60% of car fires are due to collisions. All three Tesla fires were from collisions. You'd have to have more data than my attention span will allow to calculate whether the collision-to-fire ratio is higher in a Tesla than a ICE vehicle.
You'd need the total number of collisions, and the percentage of those that resulted in a fire.
You'd likely have to do some analysis about driving habits too. Perhaps limit the data to comparable luxury cars. People bombing around in a luxury car likely have different collision rates than the average Joe. More because the car is faster? Fewer because the care more about the vehicle? I don't know...
