Are there stats around how many traditional cars exploded because of road debris hitting the gasoline tank? That's the key point here - everything can explode but what is the relative likelihood of a traditional car exploding because of road debris (as seems to be the case with the Tesla)? May be the gasoline tanks on cars are better shielded than the batteries on Tesla are.

- JshWright 13y agoIt's _extremely_ rare for a gas tank to explode. The only way that could happen is if it pressurizes to the point that the tank itself explodes from the pressure. There are pressure relief valves on the tank that prevent that from happening in the vast majority of cases. They burn, sure. They almost never explode.
