Good Lord no. This isn't about going after Tesla. Just think of it in terms of %. 3 fires in 5 weeks. If they Toyota Camry had the same ratio that might be something like 3000 fires in 5 weeks. I'm a big Tesla fan and hope they succeed but this is starting to look like a real issue.
- astrodust 13y ago> According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are around 194,000 vehicle fires on U.S. roads each year. So 194,000 vehicle fires per year, or 18,602 within any given five week period. Toyota's market share is 14.2%, so if the fires are evenly distributed, there would've been 2,641 vehicles of that brand catching fire. That's pretty close to 3,000.

- astrodust 13y agoI'm not sure the data on vehicle age is available like that.
- jusben1369 13y ago"There are 300 million cars in the USA in 2012" so your 194,000 is a % of 300 million.
